Describe the Problem

When using the drawing feature to center at the origin, the measurement of the drawing can easily run off the screen, particularly when starting the drawing near the upper-right of the screen and moving toward the lower-left. Even when on the screen, the measurements are located far away from the cursor, making my eyes have to jump around a lot.

The Solution you'd like

Instead of drawing the measurements around the boundary of the shape, draw measurements from the origin to the current point. If center-at-origin is not used, this would be the same behaviour. But when using center-at-origin, this would draw the measurement over the drawing, and would only measure half the width or height. I.e., it would measure the distance that the cursor actually moved.

Alternatives that you've considered.

We could also still measure the full width and height, but still draw the measurement through the center to keep it on screen. This would require some care with where the labels are placed.
