Measure Toolbar
By default, the Measure toolbar provides ready access to the Measure and Calibrate tools as well as the measurement modes.
Note: The exact tools a user will see depends on their Profile, licensing, and the customizations they have made and might not include all the tools mentioned here.
The toolbar may be hidden, and you can unhide it by following the steps in the Show / Hide Toolbars article. Below is an image of the toolbar.
