Hi,

I think it would be nice if the measurement widget would allow for more dynamic multi segment linear measurements. My idea would be to either create a log with the individual segments in a multi segment measurement and/or label each piece as well. So, for example, if you were want to measure out a metes and bounds description, you could click at the beginning to start your measurement, then after you take your first measurement and click the mouse, that measurement would be logged or labeled. Then you could continue your course by clicking and each time it would save that portion of the measurement as well as the total.

People who work with cadastral data, such as surveys, deeds, or other legal descriptions with COGO or metes and bounds need to be able to follow along with measurements and the current tool does not suffice. Many other GIS systems allow this, including legacy ESRI products. Is this something the developers could work on please?

Thanks,
