[quote]thanks. working! but

 thanks. working! but not with Edit Poly. is it possible to fix? i have also a couple more suggestions:  1 - when two or more segments or polygons are selected - overall length or area is displayed in top-left of the viewport. (if Display in Viewport is enabled)

Already added to the script. But:

 2 - would be just great for simple macroscript which will just Show Length or Area (depends spline/poly or segment/polygon is selected) with last script settings and display in viewport

this is possible, but there is only one problem - for how long to stay the text in the viewport. With actual script the text disapear when you press the "Clear VP" button or when you close the rollout. If you have a macro that display text you have to have a macro that clear the viewport or the text must be displayed for some time - 3,5,10 sec. :)

"show in viewport" work for

"show in viewport" work for face area. When you select some faces and press the "Show area" button, of the "Show in viewport" checkbox is On the value of the face area will be shown in the viewport. "user units scale" also work, but only for the value dysplaied in the viewport. One example: 43,567 cm means 43,567 sq. cm.
About "Auto update" when I have the time I will add it. :)

thank you!

one more tiny request - "Auto Update" checkbox for better interactivity in viewport to see how measurement data changes when new selection applied or spline/poly modification.
could you please add "show in viewport" and "user units scale" for face area

thank you!

@burdurky, I can't fully understand what you mean. Can you be more specific?

Dimensions

Could you use this for dimensions in a render or animation? (I know about Bobo's dimension script).
