Once I create a information, say between two heart factors, and I choose it, it could be very nice if Entity Data would present the gap.
I do know I can merely take the tape measure and measure the information once more or use the road software and examine the measurements field within the decrease proper nook, however it looks as if we might eradicate a step right here by retaining just a little bit of information on a information that has a finite distance.
There’s additionally the dimension software, which just about solves this downside, however provides its personal by having this callout cluttering up my mannequin.
The identical goes for the textual content/notice software, and that also received’t checklist the gap if I attempt to connect it to the information. It simply offers me data in regards to the heart factors.

Within the implementation, there seems to be a conflict of notions about what a information level represents and is supposed for use for.
On the one hand, as you observe, Entity Data doesn’t actually inform you something helpful in regards to the information level – not even its finish place coordinates. Even the Ruby API solely exposes the tip place. So, the builders evidently regarded it as nothing greater than a place marker that you may use for additional inferences.
But, the GUI shows a “tail” main again to the place from which you began drawing the information level. That clearly says the back-end construction consists of the beginning level in addition to the tip level since in any other case there can be no method to attract the tail. It isn’t clear to me what the builders supposed you to do with the tail that justified presenting it within the mannequin view. The one perform I do know it serves is that you would be able to click on on it to pick the information level, which is a tiny quantity simpler than clicking on the information level itself or dragging a range field round it.
In any case, the required knowledge to calculate a distance is clearly current within the underlying knowledge, so this request is technically possible. Nonetheless, except lots of people get behind this request, I actually doubt it should ever get sufficient precedence to be carried out.

Cluttering the mannequin with callouts? It relies upon a bit on how fastidiously you create your dimensions.
Dimensions might be anchored straight on circle facilities (operating from heart to heart) with out guidepoints.
Some examples:
