Am I being obtuse, or has the Measure tool been removed?

I'm sure I used it when I first started using OnShape. I can't find it anymore. The help files say it should be at the right end of the bottom of the screen, but there's nothing there. Is it only on certain screens? I want to measure some hole diameters on an assembly without going back and editing the sketches. Thanks.

The measurements should appear whenever you have entities selected in a Part Studio or an assembly.
Example:
Are you not seeing this text in the lower right corner?

Hi - The Measure tool appears automatically when you have something selected (that can be measured) in a Part Studio or Assembly. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking!

Sometimes especially in Assemblies it can become slow and may take a long time to show up.5

Thanks everyone. The help files show a little icon that looks like a pair of dividers, and that was what I kept looking for. I didn't think to just select something on the assembly. Works great. Now back to work.

The help files should be updated to reflect this change. Measuring is now automatic and doesn't require selecting a tool. I got stuck searching for the none existing tool that is described in the help.0
