Draw dimension annotations.
Menu: View > Show Dimensions | In depth: Dimensions
A checkable toggle, on by default.
Hides or shows every dimension at once, without deleting any of them. The measurements keep updating while they are hidden, so turning it back on shows current numbers rather than stale ones.
Useful for checking how the artwork reads on its own, and for a clean look at a pattern you have been measuring heavily.
