I have done a very quick (and poor) video to give an idea of what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZxPqzeRYQw I don't know if it is something the Paint.net guys can use but the following is available from the PowerDraw guys: http://www.tekhnelogos.com/powercadindexEn.html

The tool is a CAD tool really. It doesn't need to measure the distance on the image. What it does is, it allows you to click a start point, drag-out the dimensions lines/arrows/text and click an end point. You then manually edit the text part to suit. The best way to get the idea is to download PowerDraw and play around. Thanks for your help.

Any chance of having this tool? How about having a watermark tool?

Thanks for answering so soon. This is the sort of thing I mean. This was done with a freeware tool called PowerDraw. http://www.download.com/3000-20-10524100.html When installed, the tools are about 3/4 of the way down in the tools to the left. If you hover over them they are called DimLines. It would a very useful tool. Many thanks for your consideration. Mike

Gotta say Paint.net is a great bit of kit! One thing I have been looking for in such software is a tool that works just like a CAD dimensions tool. You know, the one that puts in the arrows, lines and dimensions on a tech drawing. You select the tool, click at the start point and drag it out to the end point. You then edit the default dimension text. Would it be possible to create such a tools as a plugin for Paint.net? Would you be willing to add it to your software? It would be ideal for eBay sellers. Thanks
