Measurement Indicator Will Not Go Away

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,

Same, I ended up cutting and pasting everything in the same frame, and that finally removed the measurement tags, hope Figma fixes this soon.

This is incorrectly market as “SOLVED”. It is not solved. There is a bug where indicators cannot be removed. It’s not about hiding all. It’s about deleting a single measurement indicator while keeping the rest.

Still happening

Yep, still happening. You can hide them, but can’t delete…

Still happening for me too. I did find a workaround that seems to be a permanent fix, though a clunky one: If I click on the annotation (like a measurement) and hit delete, nothing happens at first. But if I do that, then close and reopen the app, the annotation is gone. Not exactly efficient — but better than a sharp stick in the eye.

It's buggy!!!!

When I try to delete is does not go away...
When I try to move it, does not move and retrieves back to the original position…

The workaround: To apply the changes I made, I have to reload the tab I every.single.time 🙄
