Adding measurements in Figma is a quick and easy way to ensure that your design elements are the correct size, and to make sure that they are spaced evenly. There are a few different ways to add measurements in Figma, and we’ll go over each one so that you can choose the method that works best for you.

To add measurements in Figma, you can use the Measure tool, which is located in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. To use the Measure tool, simply click and drag it from one point to another. The measurement will be displayed in a pop-up window, and you can also see the measurement in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Another way to add measurements in Figma is to use the Ruler tool, which is located next to the Measure tool in the toolbar. To use the Ruler tool, click and drag it from one point to another, and then click on the “Add measurement” button that appears at the top of the screen. This will add a measurement line to your design, and you can see the measurement in the pop-up window that appears.

PRO TIP: If you are working on a design in Figma and need to add measurements, be aware that there is no built-in tool to do this. You will need to use a third-party plugin or other means to add measurements to your design.

You can also add measurements by clicking on an element in your design, and then clicking on the “Measure” button that appears at the top of the screen. This will display a measurement for that specific element, and you can also see the measurement in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Once you have added measurements to your design, you can use them to quickly change the size or spacing of elements. To do this, simply click on an element, and then drag one of the measurements that appears next to it. You can also click on multiple elements and then drag a measurement between them to change their spacing.

Adding measurements in Figma is a quick and easy way to ensure that your design elements are sized correctly and spaced evenly. By using the Measure tool, Ruler tool, orMeasure button, you can quickly add measurements to your design so that you can make changes with confidence.
