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.

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

Is there anything on this? Seems like something that should have a simple solution, and yet

I’m thinking of migrating from adobe XD to Figma.

Not being able to see the relative distance between objects in pixels is really a showstopper for me.

Solution:
Select one object, hover over the other object (below or above where you want to see the space distance), and press “alt” (on windows) or “option” (on mac) - a red line appear between the two and reveals the distance.

@Zandrea Thanks for trying to help but I am afraid that you did not get the point of this feature request. Please watch this video to see the difference: Show additional measurement information like horizontal offset - #2 by Jan_Nikolaas_Gijsen

Is there still no response from the folks at Figma? I don’t understand why this hasn’t been implemented yet we getting features that don’t actually aid good design.

Agree, Coming from Sketch this is a massive frustration. Figma is great in a lot of areas except this one important feature.

Does anyone know if there is another mechanism to request this basic feature? How can we escalate to have someone from Figma look at it, respond, and get it in their roadmap/next release update?
