Measure distances
Gaps, insets and overlaps between two elements, pinned measurements, and copying a value.
With an element selected, hover any other element. Nitpique draws the gaps between the two in red, or the insets when one is inside the other, or the overlap when they cross. Labels never cover each other.
Pin a measurement
Pinning keeps one element as the starting point while you move around the page.
- Press Space while hovering an element to pin it.
- Hold Shift⇧ to measure from the pinned element to whatever is under the cursor.
- Press Space again to unpin.
Copy a value
Press C to copy the value under the cursor: the label you are pointing at, or the distance shown, or the hovered element's size.
Questions
How do I measure from one element to many others?
Press Space while hovering an element to pin it, then hold Shift to measure from it to whatever is under the cursor.
Can I copy a measurement?
Yes. Press C to copy the label you are pointing at, the distance shown, or the hovered element's size.
What if one element is inside the other?
Nitpique draws the insets instead of the gaps, and the overlap when the two cross.
