I have found that if I draw a straight line using the Pen Tool from any point that I choose to any other point that I choose then the Transform Panel shows the length of the line in a box labelled L that is to the right of the box labelled R.

I need to put in inches the length of a line, I think this is self explanatory just make lines. I have used the pen tool and the pencil tool but only when I really have to, they seem more complicated than what I need.  Thanks so much

I have been using Publisher for a while now and its predecessor (which I am struggling to remember the name) but am now getting into garment pattern making and I feel pretty stupid but I don't know how to make a measured line segment. I have all 3 products and am on a PC.

Start a document and set the measurement units to inches. If you then draw a line using the Pen Tool and hold the Shift key down while you do it, then a line drawn by you at "around" horizontal will lock on as exactly horizontal. Then, once it is an object, the length of the line will be displayed as the width in the Transform panel. You could then rotate the line without changing its length, either using the mouse pointer or by entering a number in the box labelled R in the Transform panel. Then move it to where you choose.
