Measure Dimension on Mobile

Is there a way to drop point #1 and #2 when measuring a dimension on a mobile phone? Tapping on the screen does not seem to work well.

Hey Dan, what type of mobile device are you using (and which browser)? I just tried this on my iPhone, and it worked for me (as long as the dimension tool was active). One thing to note - we are currently not displaying any indication of the first point you tapped until you tap the second point.

I was using Chrome on an Android Moto Z. If you have a preference of browser, I can try that as well.


Is it just a single tap to start and end a point, or is there any hold or pause required?

Chrome is our recommended browser, so you're good there. To add points, it's a single tap to add a point. So if you are using a dimension tool, you will tap twice with the dimension tool active, and on the second tap, it will draw the dimension. One thing to note - mobile devices do not display sections/annotations that go past the top of the page due to a crashing issue.

I was just doing it wrong. First click the icon to turn on the dimension tool, click the print at your first point (there will be no indication the first point was made), continue to click the second point and then the dimension line will appear. (I was double clicking and getting very short measurements, which makes sense).
