Measure tool - Measurement value should get bigger when zooming in

Measure tool - Measurement value should get bigger when zooming in

Only a minor adjustment, but I find when using the measuring tool it is difficult to see what the measurement actually reads, and when you try to zoom in, the text size stays the same on the screen. It would be great if the text size were to get bigger here along with everything else in the view.

The text is displayed below the upper panel as well. Should read fine there.

It does, however I use the chain measure feature a lot, and the top corner only shows one measurement at a time. Regardless though, it seems more natural to zoom in to see it better in my opinion. - This could just be me though.

File>Options>Graphics, Temporary dimension text appearance - you change change the size of text which also applies to measure dimension text, also opaque or transparent. Zooming in or out does not affect the size of dimension text on screen.

@mpukas - Just tried this and it appears to be a good work around. Thank you!

Although I would still prefer the measurement values to be small, and then get bigger when zoomed in on, rather than big all of the time. However like I said before, this is only a minor inconvenience, and could just be my personal preference!
