Love this plugin like everyone else. There’s one issue with components tho: Show Stem Thickness completely ignores them. See attached image: ![image](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/3/23f2a545cd242e40478b6f23ae566831bbc1018a.png) I had found an alternative in the plugin “Ultimate Measure” but it broke with Glyphs 4. Is it possible to add this feature? ---

You mean path components like corners or segment components? ---

I haven’t used corner components yet, so in my case it’s segment components. I’m using a curved segment component to create flared stems. A guide with “show measurements” does the job as I intend, but it’s less immediate. ![image](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/7/772a23947cbf42f551fb708803d1258244fe745b.jpeg)
