Hi,

Would it be possible to add a "distance tip" to the trace tool when tracing a feature like a line or polygon? For context, not the network trace functions found in 'utility network' tab, but the trace tool found in the editing toolbar. 

See attached examples: 

- Below is the Measure tool with a 'distance tip'

- Below is a trace of the highlighted line in blue with no 'distance tip'.

The option to turn this on or off could be put into the 'Trace Options' window. 

This functionality would be helpful because we don't want to switch back and forth between the measure tool when mapping lines based off other features. Plus is gives us a point of reference when mapping and how close we are getting to 'limit trace length' parameter. 

Cheers,
