Measurement: label distance needs to be dynamic depending on model scale
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Problem description
The distance between the measured element and the measurement label appears to be fixed to ca. 15-20mm: i.e. it does not adapt to the scale of the model. As such, the default works well for mm-scale models (Part, Part Design, etc.), but the label appears right next to the measured element for m-scale models (Arch).
When the cube's edges are 10 mm the label appears at a reasonable distance to the edges or faces:
When the cube's edges are 1000 mm the label appears stuck to the edges or faces (it's not, it just appears so as the element to label distance is small in comparison to the model):
Reportedly, the labels can be dragged around. That did not work for me, the labels are not draggable. For what is worth, I'm using the Gesture navigation scheme.

the labels should be able to be dragged closer to the model. Each time I try to move it closer, it goes further away.
Closing this as fixed by #13848 . Note: for those using the Gesture navigation mode, labels can be dragged by holding the Alt key and then dragging with the mouse's left button.
The measurement is placed way off and cannot be moved closer to the model. It seems to be dependent of the model scale. This is the BIM example file:

I'll label this as blocker as this is a regression from the old measurement tool where the result is displayed at the location of the measurement.

I'm failing to find this example file, could you give me the link or send the file over discord?
