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

Are you running the full version of CorelDRAW (i.e., not the Home and Student version)? If so, then a VBA macro might address this need.
I wrote a VBA macro that displays the distance between two selected parallel guidelines.

.
I've added a post for that macro to my blog:
#17: Macro - "Guides Distance".
I posted an updated version of the macro.
The new version allows one to set whether trailing zeros are shown in the displayed value.
