Measuring works within projected coordinate systems (e.g., UTM) and unprojected
data. The first three measuring tools behave equally to global project settings:

If "on the fly" CRS transformation is enabled, the default measurement metric is
- different from most other GIS - ellipsoidal, using the ellipsoid defined in
:menuselection:`File --> Project properties`, :guilabel:`General`. This is true both
when geographic and projected coordinate systems are defined for the project.

maths, the measurement ellipsoid has to be set to "None / Planimetric"

If "on the fly" CRS transformation is disabled, the measurement metric is planimetric
when the project coordinate system is projected and ellipsoidal when the project

However, neither the identify tool nor the field calculator will transform your data
to the project CRS before measuring. If you want to achive this you have to use the
vector analysis tool: :menuselection:`Vector --> Geometry Tools --> Export/Add Geometry Columns`.

Here, measurement is by default planimetric except if you choose the ellipsoidal measure.
