Add measurements to sketch tools

[JenniferBorlick]

First of all THANK YOU! For adding the Sketch tool the Sidebar Instant App. 

Would it be possible to get the ability to add measurements and/or text? My users would like to add setbacks to maps. It would be helpful if they could add the distance of the setbacks to the maps.

Hi @JenniferBorlick 

Thanks for reaching out about the measurement tools. For this request, do want to add the measurements after drawing a sketch using the measurement tools or do you want the sketches to automatically calculate the distance/area? 

Would the text added to the sketch primarily be to show the measurement of the graphic?

Thanks! 
Sarah

I'm thinking something like the drawing tools that are in ExB, but improved. It would be nice to be able to see the measurement as you are drawing the line, or to even be able to type in a distance.

For the text, it would be a tool for adding text to the map so we can type in what we want to put, such as No Building Allowed. Or utility easement, and such.
