I am trying to make a war game.
How do I measure the distance between two tokens?


Thanks

If you move your mouse over an object so it is highlighted, press and hold Tab to measure from that object. If you then move the mouse over the object you want to know the distance to, it will lock onto that object and show the distance.

You can also enable movement measuring in the toggle options of an object.

Excellent Thank you

Only one small snafu, That's edge to edge. It will definitely come in handy somewhere down the track, say for a battle tech game but in this case I need to measure centre to centre. sigh (Can't think of any other games that measure centre to centre)
I guess I will have to learn scripting dang

If you hover over the measuring tool (Fourth icon called "line", looks like a diagonal line with a down arrow) on the left toolbar, there's an option to make it measure center to center.
You can also change the units and whether or not it measures height (2D or 3D measuring).
