Hi!

I have Show Measurement Line turned on, and it used to follow my cursor always so I could constantly check my weights. Now, it won’t show at all. I can currently only used the manual ruler/measurement tool which feels a bit tedious.

Any way to get the constant one that follows my cursor back? (Not sure what to call it, all of the forum questions about the measurement line seem to be about the manual ruler tool)

Thanks!

If it was following your cursor, then it was probably one of the “Show Stems” plugins from the plugin manager.
