I use the DIST command frequently when measuring oblique line lengths on PDFATTACH scaled entities

I know that with ORTHO on line lengths are given but often my lines are not horizontal or vertical

Is there a way to set up DIST as a menu item or another way of measuring distance?

Thanks
Andrew

Is it not already a menu item for you?
If you're seeing a different MEASUREGEOM sub-command icon, pull it down and select the DIST one, and it will become the one that appears there.
