Disable measurement tool's ability to show coordinates

Glyphs
#1

Is it possible not to see x,y coordinates of the nodes and BCPs while using measurement tool? Maybe being able to turn off and on “show coordinates” would be a good idea.

#2

What for? Would Show Stem Thickness help in achieving what you are aiming for?

#3

Show stem thickness doesn’t work in the same way for me. I often measure spaces and stems or more than one stem at the same time.
I thought it would be preferable not to see so much numbers while measuring things if it is possible.

#4

This is still showing some numbers (more or less depending on settings), but at least not the coordinates of all the nodes. Maybe closer to what you’re after?

#5

Or switch a guide to measurement mode. Or, use the stem measure option in the Crosshair plug-in.

#6

@Mark Thanks I will check it out

@mekkablue Crosshair might work but its show thicknesses doesn’t work. I got this error message in macro panel

Traceback (most recent call last):

#7

Which exact version of Glyphs are you using? And which macOS?

Edit: NSColor.separatorColor() is only available in systems 10.14 and later. will see if I can add a workaround in the code.
Update: fixed. Please uninstall and reinstall the plug-in through Window > Plugin Manager.
