As user coming from Sketch I am missing additional measurement information. To be precise I am talking about the horizontal offset of seperate elements while pressing option key.

measurementinfo

Am I the only one who’s missing this feature?

    Same. This is one of my biggest frustrations in switching to Figma. I get not everyone might be this nit-picky on their measurements. But once this is part of your way-of-working, it hard to go back.

    For those who might not understand the difference. These are measurements from Sketch (left) and Figma (right):

      The consistency of displaying measurements between objects etc. is hands down my most frustrating experience with Figma. I have 2 elements and need them spaced 8px and it displays a measurement 2 out of 5 times at best.

        This is the one thing that keeps me going back to Sketch.

            Just switched to Figma (from Sketch) and this is also a frustration for me. Any updates on this?

              There is kinda a long way around it 😦
              Placing another object to the right/left or top/down of the relevant object. It seem to work as long as the objects are not parallel/vertical completely.

                  Trying my best to switch over from Sketch and not having these measurements is a major frustration in my workflow. I work on a sizable team in a large tech company and speak for the group when I saw, PLEASE bring this simple/basic functionality in the next update.

                    Throwing my hat in the ring on this one as well. Please add this feature - quite frustrating as a former Sketch user!
