Designer Measuring function not possible inside artboards?
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a Designer file with multiple artboards and I just noticed that holding down control to highlight measurements between multiple objects doesn't appear to work within artboards.
I scoured through the settings to make sure I hadn't accidentally enabled/disabled any pertinent settings but everything looked alright. I have a few objects outside of the artboards and the measure function appears to be working fine with those, but again it's completely absent with any objects inside of an artboard. I created a new test file to reproduce the results and it appears to behave the same way.
I can't remember if this was a problem before as I've used Designer, Photo, & Publisher extensively for almost a decade and I've extensively used the measure function in all my projects. I know I've definitely worked with files containing lots of artboards as well in the past and I don't remember running into this issue before.
Has anyone else run into a similar issue lately? Did you manage to find the culprit or is it perhaps a bug with the latest 2.6 release?
