Hello, this may be a silly question but, how do you move the Measure Tool out of the way?

It seem to be stuck in the upper-left part of the View pane, and can only be collapsed? I still want to see it.

...I realize I can pan my map, but I don't want to have to so that. ...Can it just not float or be docked elsewhere?

When you hover over the Measure tool a transparent gray border appears around the tool. Click and drag that transparent gray area to move the Measure tool around the map.

Using AGP 3.1.1. You can reposition the Measure Distance tool rather than panning the Map or minimize the tool while keeping it active; don't see see a float or dock option.

Ah OK, thanks -- that helps some -- though it appears that you still cannot move it off the Map View
