That wasn’t the only change to this tool, but the other addition is, thankfully, a little more reliable.** | **Last time, I described the (unreliable) tooltip mode that was introduced to the Measurement Tool in version 1.0.

With a single element selected the state of the “Show measures between items” button has no effect. But when you select two or more objects within the path of the measurement line, it changes the result quite significantly. By selecting just the red and green boxes, and with the “measure between items” toggle turned off, this is the display that Inkscape produces:** | With a single element selected the state of the “Show measures between items” button has no effect.

**It’s a little hard to make out, but there is a small red cross at the top-right of the green square. The displayed value of 82.77mm represents the distance between the start of the measurement line (the small circle at the top-left of the red square), and that red cross – that is to say, the entire width of the selection, irrespective of the unselected blue box that happens to lie in the middle. | **It’s a little hard to make out, but there is a small red cross at the top-right of the green square.

**There are now two additional red crosses – at the top-right corner of the red square, and the top-left corner of the green one. In other words, the points that intersect with the measurement line, but only if they’re from the selected items. The numbers then show the distances between each pair of marks along the line, as well as our 82.77mm total for the selection, displayed further down (appearing over the blue box in this image). And we still have a total length for the whole measurement line displayed at the right. | **There are now two additional red crosses – at the top-right corner of the red square, and the top-left corner of the green one.

This is a great new feature for this tool, giving you the ability to more precisely indicate which parts of a complex drawing should be measured, and which should be ignored. It does have a slight problem in that changing the selection can cause all the additional measurements to disappear. Redrawing the measurement line brings them back though, so it’s a small annoyance rather than a major bug.** | This is a great new feature for this tool, giving you the ability to more precisely indicate which parts of a complex drawing should be measured, and which should be ignored.

**You may have noticed that none of the squares in these images give the appearance of being selected: you can’t see the usual dashed line and handles that you would expect when the Selection tool is active. These are suppressed when using the Measurement tool – a good thing, too, otherwise they would clutter and confuse the layout. But it might leave you wondering which objects are selected and which aren’t. Worry not! The new tooltip feature, although rather broken in the numbers it displays (see last month’s column), does reliably state that each element is either “Selected” or “Not selected” as you move the mouse over them. Although, in most cases, those red crosses are also a bit of a give-away.** | **You may have noticed that none of the squares in these images give the appearance of being selected: you can’t see the usual dashed line and handles that you would expect when the Selection tool is active.

**With this toggled on, the Selection tool acquires a third mode. Even the most novice of Inkscape users is familiar with the first mode, indicated by double-ended arrows that allow you to resize selected objects. Once in that state, clicking on a selected object will cycle to the second mode, where a new set of double-ended arrows are used to rotate and skew. With this new toggle button activated, a third click will cycle to the new mode, where a radically different set of handles will greet you. | **With this toggled on, the Selection tool acquires a third mode.

The two thin blue lines are just guides that I’ve added to make it clearer where the top and left edges of the selection group lie, to help orient you in the screenshots to follow. Their position on the canvas doesn’t change, so, by treating them as fixed references, it should be clearer to see how the items move around on the page.** | The two thin blue lines are just guides that I’ve added to make it clearer where the top and left edges of the selection group lie, to help orient you in the screenshots to follow.

**The handles in question are the eight black icons around the outside of the selection, and the one in the very center, but the first thing to note is that these aren’t really handles – not in the sense that the term is used for the other two modes. You can’t drag these around. You can try, but all that occurs is that they disappear from the screen until you release the mouse button. These ‘handles’ are really just buttons that happen to be positioned where the selection handles usually live. | **The handles in question are the eight black icons around the outside of the selection, and the one in the very center, but the first thing to note is that these aren’t really handles – not in the sense that the term is used for the other two modes.

**The center button will move objects vertically so that they’re aligned on the horizontal axis of the original selection group, while a Shift-click will move them horizontally to center them on the vertical axis. One useful trick is to perform a click followed by a Shift-click (or vice versa) to center the objects along both axes (i.e. stack them up with a common center point). These three options are shown in the image below. Note that Shift-Control clicking on the center button has no effect. | **The center button will move objects vertically so that they’re aligned on the horizontal axis of the original selection group, while a Shift-click will move them horizontally to center them on the vertical axis.
