Hmmm....  I just tried to use the Measure feature in OpenSCAD version
2024.08.05 (git 8119ad428) and I cannot seem to get it to work.

After clicking on the measure button, am I meant to see something on the
display when I click on places to measure?

Where is the result displayed?

Thanks!

Just realised, from another post that measuring was now incorporated.
Any description of its use? It seems that I can only measure once,
then 'Esc' then select from menu again and measure.

Or you can use the 'buttons' at the bottom of the graphic window.
Distance is:

Angle is:
\ 45 /

Click onc, select two place, get measurement, click 'button' again.
Play with it. Neat feature.

'D' seems to be not ahot key. It does not work on f5 rendering, but
the greying out is not very  much different from normal text in
general.

Try a render first.

Well, if the Measure button fails when F6 has not been pressed, then
maybe an informative message is in order.

Well, I still get no results with Measure in Build 2023.08.30 by either <Design><Measure> or clicking the buttons in the 3D toolbar.  Is there any documentation?

You need to render it first.
