measuring the distance between elements?

Sep 6, 2012 5:19 PM

Is there an easy way to measure the distance between shapes, lines, type, etc. in CS6? I could use the artboard ruler, though I'm looking for a quick way to give me a precise measurement?

Thanks.

Illustrator's Measure tool does not confidently abide by snaps. It's practically useless. Use the Line tool to draw a line between the points, edges, or objects you want to measure. Then doubleClick the Line tool. Its dialog will have "remembered" the last-used values.
