Guidelines no longer measure things like they used to. Is there a setting that I am missing?

Way back in X4 (which I continued to use until recently), I could select (Shift-click) 2 guidelines and the distance between them could be seen in the box at the top. Now with 2018, that doesn't work and can not find any settings that allow it. The box just remains grayed out. This is causing a great deal of pain over here because this function is badly needed. I played with the dimensioning tool but it doesn't really take the place of the function that I seem to have lost. Can anybody please help?

TIA

  • Corel must have changed it on you from X4.  I'll have to test this in X7 at work.

    But in v2019 (Update 3) it does the same here as you describe when SHIFT-CLICK (2) horizontal or vertical guidelines.  Just dimmed sizing.  Guess you could just use (2) horizontal or vertical lines that act as guides instead in the meantime?  or rectangle.  : /
