Note: The length is shown in millimeters or inches, according to the setting for Show Measurements in mySewnet™ Configure. The alternative units are shown in parentheses.

Open a design.
Choose View > Get Length, or press ⌘L.
The pointer changes to the measure pointer .
Drag across the part of the design you want to measure.
A line will show the length you are measuring, and a tooltip displays the distance.
If desired, make a note of the number.
Drag to measure any other distances, as required.
Note: If you hold the Shift key while dragging, only 45 and 90 degree lines can be drawn.
Control–click, and choose "Finish Get Length" to deselect the function.
