Cannot Read results after "Measure" - Rusults in black font always placed over object.. how to change?

[Anonymous]

Greetings Folks,

I am having an issue using the Measure tool. The results are always displayed hovered directly over the object and very difficult to read sometimes (see example). Is there any way to configure F360 to display these figures offset from the model, like out in the blue workspace area? Ior is there a way for me to "drag" these figure to any position. Can I change the Font color maybe?  This habit of displaying the results (in black font)  directly over the dark object which contains black lines renders the tool almost useless. 

Thanks in advance!

no, unfortunately, there is no way today to reposition the measurement, or change its display at all.  Usually, if you rotate the model, you can see the results more clearly.  Also, the results are also displayed in the Measure dialog, where they can be seen, copied, etc.

Yes, thats what I have been doing... Rotating it around until I get it in a position where I can read it. I KNow it is at the bottom right of the screen of the screen - but that does not display the second increment. I will look into the actual dialog box...

Thanks

I use the Environment "Gray Room" and the measure dimensions come up in white, maybe this setting will be better for you.
