All,
Here is my next EB widget for all of you to use.
Note: This is an EB 1.9 Widget (not tested for backward compatibility).
![Measurement.jpg Measurement.jpg](https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/14379i055F82545D08C67B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999)
- The widget allows you to measure in a 2D map view.
- You can measure length, area, and location.
- The widget allows you to change the displayed measurement results at runtime.
- You can add custom location units to display the location results in a different projection then the map view (i.e. add a projected coordinate system like State Plane).
- You can configure which measurement tools are visible.
- You can define the default measurement unit for distance and area measurements.
- You can set the measurements drawing colors (i.e. path and fill color).
To install this widget extract the contents of the zip file to your EB\client\your-extensions\widgets. So once you extract the whole path would look like: \client\your-extensions\widgets\measurement. Refresh your client and server windows (easiest way is to close both and 'npm start' them like you normally do to start EB). Now the measurement widget will appear in your apps widget menu. Add the widget to your app. Now use the widgets settings panel to configure the widget.
Enjoy, Robert
