Cant show how interactive it is as there are many interactive nodes, but if you enlarged one of the circles the dimension would follow it. In inkscape you can’t have two measurements or change the size of the circle while looking at the measurement.
Really it all depends on how it presents itself to the UI, if it is imported to support as if 2 svg’s we’re added, then by all means that should work. Otherwise yeah sounds like a very unstable setting
Well I am trying it. There are quite a few annoyances as stuff is arranged differently. If an object is not hidden no icon shows, only when hidden does the icon stay visible, otherwise you have to hunt it where it should be.
When subtracting a complex part it misses big areas, even when you tell it not to. It had this behavior before but not as bad. And if possible I swear the text is smaller than before. I am going to have to get a screen magnifier to read the screen. Making even the icons smaller, makes moving them around ever more problematic as once memorized I did not need to read them before.
I’m in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” camp. I’m on 1.0.2 - it does everything I need and I’ve never had an issue. I did have issues with earlier 1.x releases so still have 0.9 installed but haven’t needed that for a long time now.
It is great they keep upgrading/adding features and I recommend people I’ve taught try it out.
Affinity Designer shows the dimensions as things are dragged to change size/spacing. (If I understand what you’re looking for.)
Here I’m pulling on the bottom middle handle and the current Height value is shown as it’s scaled.
Here I’m moving the bottom right handle and it shows the current H and W values while changing the size.
And here I’m moving the whole oval sideways and it shows the distance way from the rectangular as I move it.

[ I was sick of Adobe’s fees so tried using Inkscape for awhile but I didn’t like the UI very much. The new UI does look better though. But about 1.5 years ago I got the demo of both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (similar to Photoshop and Illustrator) and rather liked it. When Affinity had one of their 50% off sales (about once or maybe twice a year it seems) I bought both both. For a one time fee of about $26 each I have been quite happy for my hobby needs and haven’t looked back. ]
