What I need: Showing the distance between rulers.


How I expected it to work: Select a ruler, hover another and hold option (mac).


Context: In some really nested templates and components its impossible to actually select edges of correct elements for measurements, therefore I would need the option to show the distance between two rulers.


Complexity: Seems to be an easy fix, since the individual coordinates of both rulers even show on the top edge of the ruler section of the UI, you’d just need to add the distance (where exactly I wouldn’t care that much)

Hello @Sebastian_Holzki, Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts on Measurement.


As you mentioned, the current workaround could involve calculating the distance between two guides, as Figma displays the position of both guides on the axis.

I understand that this method requires manual effort, and your idea would be beneficial for other community members as well.


We are eager to see how the community responds to this. If anyone else also requires this feature, please show your support by voting!


Thank you once again for your input.
