What Size is it

I'm a teacher teaching Onshape to MiddleSchool students. One of the things that my students like to to do is to import an image and then trace it to make it 3D. Sometimes these parts are super huge or too small, and I have to scale them with the transform tool. But after I scale the part I want to know what size it is? Is there a tool that I can use that will tell me the size of a part?

At the bottom right of the screen are the measure and mass properties tool. If you click on two points or faces the measure tool will display the distance between them etc. You can click on the measure tool to see more info. Here's a link to the Measure Tool help documentation
It sounds like you might want students to dimension the image that they are tracing so everything turns out a reasonable scale. They can dimension the height and width of the image in the sketch!
