      Share the problem SketchUp file so we can see what you are working with. I'd bet my lunch money it's an easy fix.

        I closed the file and opened it again, and I could measure again. Then the problem occurred again, which I was able to avoid by closing and reopening a second time.

              Please correct your forum profile then.

              Can you show what you are seeing? Is it just the tooltip for the Tape Measure tool that isn't showing?

              Do you have Guides turned off in the View menu?

                Generally don't use measure - use pencil instead

                  "Please correct your forum profile then."

                  ok

                  "Is it just the tooltip for the Tape Measure tool that isn't showing?"

                  The mouse cursor took the form of the measure tools, but when I placed it at one end and dragged it to the other, nothing happened.

                  "Can you show what you are seeing?"

                  Only the next time it will happen again, but iin reality there is nothing to show: you will only see the icon of the tool. I would have to record the action as a video, and I don't know how to do that.

                  "Do you have Guides turned off in the View menu?"

                  No

                  "Generally don't use measure - use pencil instead"

                  Why not use the measure tool? That's what it's there for!
                  And as written, this applies to both measure tools. If I measure a length and I want the result to be retained, I can only use the tool in question.

                      You will not see the problem because it doesn't exist anymore if one reopens the file.

                        Because less is more. Line tool delivers the same result without need in extra effort
