I have fixed up the user experience for the measurement tools. There are
tooltips for the various states, several measurements also give per-axis
deltas, and you can copy the outputs to the clipboard.

Builds available from
https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/openscad/openscad/7449/workflows/90e0ec3d-7855-436c-8a1d-49bad714da43

Discussion at https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/5672

PR with all my existing changes at
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/6278

Please reply here or at #5672 with feedback.

Thanks,
Cory

Thank you.

The Builds Available link gets me to CircleCI, not to OpenSCAD, and
requires me to log in.  Is that what you expected?

Just scroll down. There are four rectangles, first says "openscad-appimage-64bit". Click through to find the builds. "mxe" is Windows.

Thanks, Gene.  I wonder why I am seeing things differently. Could it
have anything to do with location (I'm in the US) or platform (Windows
Chrome)?

That works for me in either Edge or Chrome on Windows.  Both are
prompting me to log in, suggesting that I'm not already logged in.  From
the page shown below, click on "openscad-mxe-64bit" and then on
"Artifacts" and then the file of your choice (installer, zip, or bare
executable).

Thank you.

I can now see the four boxes under Chrome.

I can click on the mxe-64bit box

I do not see "Artifacts" but rather "Uploading artifacts"

When I click on that, a script appears:

[cid:part1.vOUPgr7q.HM6M201L@jonbondy.com]

I looked in all of the standard download places, and there is no sign of these files on my system.

So, still not there yet.

It's a tab above the list of green-check steps and below the operation
