Dimension tools

Is OnShape missing the dimension tools?
It should work in every section: assembly, part studio and so on.
If I want to know the dimensions of a tray in my design but I have not access to its sketch, or I want to get it directly from my assembly, I should still be able to do so with a simple dimension tool.

Select the object you want to measure and look at the right bottom corner of the screen. https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/measure-ps.htm

in a part studio you can use a FS measure distance (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3558d1f7887ad7d572a1d4fc/v/32fbc65236546869ecd9d60c/e/61bde05925cbfde1ab1236ed) it is super helpful at least for me. if u want to use it in a assembly u can creat a part studio from the assembly and use it there.

That featurescript is only really for if you want to store that measurement in a variable and use it in another sketch, making it parametric.
