Trying to scale a component but Tape Measure stops me
-
So I'm trying to use the feature where you can use the tape measure to measure some distance (in my case, it's the thickness of a piece of wood), SU will say the wood is X and then I type in Y" to change the scale of that component so that now X has become Y".
The issue I'm having is that every time I take a measurement in this component, it creates a guideline and then typing in a measurement will only affect the length or position of the guideline. I often have this issue, but taking a measurement from a different area fixes it. Here, though, I can't get the Tape Measure to just measure without creating a guideline.
Ideas?

Ah ha! Thanks, I'd seen something about the CTRL button while I was searching but I didn't realize it's a toggle.
