      I often import a graphic of a floorplan from a client or forum member. I find a long measurement and measure it using the measure tool - I then type the actual measurement into the lower right input window and it asks me if I'd like to resize the model, I say yes and it resizes the graphic so all measurements are to that new scale.

      It now creates a guideline along the axis of the measurement.

      Why has this feature disappeared in version 2017, it's a very important feature I use regularly.

        Works fine for me, p'raps try a repair/reinstall?
        Or load the model, see if it works for others?

          It's ok - found the solution - hold control and measure/resize works ok.

            Don't hold ctrl, just tap it, it is a toggle. Guide on guide off,you'll even see the little guide line symbol disappear and reappear.
            For some unknown reason they reversed the default in 2017.

              Damn, never noticed that. The toggle on seems to be the default on my puter. Never needed a reason to toggle off.
