Ability to have multiple measurement lines

It would be great if when you use the measurement widget in EB you could create multiple measurement lines. Currently after you create a line if you hit the 'New Measurement' button it deletes the previously created line. It would also be great if as you created the measurement lines you saw the measured distance between each vertex. We have users who need to create measurements such as "20 feet north, then 40 feet west, etc." or that are trying to recreate old legal descriptions. Right now they can't really do that easily because all you are given is the total distance for the one line you create.

@Jianxia This would be an extremely valuable feature. We were just talking about this in our Survey group two days ago. I think at least every Survey group everywhere 😀 would love to have this feature. It was created for Web AppBuilder a while back I believe by @RobertScheitlin__GISP, with contributions from @TomSellsted and others.

I Think it's pretty much what everyone wants all the time from the Measure Widget. Or perhaps a "Advanced Measure" Widget? There and example of the Widget here that I access from this post.

Thanks!

We have also just had a meeting with a customer who also said this is needed.

Agreed, this feature has been requested by multiple communities. Specifically, having the ability to have two measurements on the map extent and then printing that view.
