I can’t seem to find a way to turn off the red measurement tool. If I go to View > Hide UI it does remove it, but it also removes other side navigation components that I need available.

Hi @Claire Fredrick,

I understand you're looking to hide those measurements from your canvas. That's definitely possible.

Please try following these steps:

Click Figma icon on the top left to open the main menu.
Hover over “View” in the dropdown.
Deselect “Annotations”.

I tested this on my end, and it should hide both annotations and measurements for you. You can find more details in our article here: Add measurements and annotate designs

Thanks,

I can hide measurements but I can never seem to select and delete permanently. I can move the measurement up and down, but never actually select it and be able to delete it. Right click also doesn’t do anything. This doesn’t seem right.
