Measure the distance between objects

The Measure tool calculates the distance between any two points and displays the results in the Info panel.

Select the Measure tool . (Press and hold the Eyedropper tool to see it in the Tools panel.)
Do one of the following:
- Click the two points to measure the distance between them.
- Click the first point and drag to the second point. Shift‑drag to constrain the tool to multiples of 45°.
  
  The Info panel shows the horizontal and vertical distances from the x and y axes, the absolute horizontal and vertical distances, the total distances, and the angle measured.
