I don't use the Atlas Tool very much but after watching the Jonah video I noticed you could hold the control button down and make your mouse show you the distance between two points.  My question is, is there a way to freeze the screen like that so I could take a snip or export it?  Once I let go of the mouse and control button, the distance marker disappears and it would be nice to export a slide like that to PPT

    What screen capture tool are you using?

    I use PicPick and have "Shift-Printscreen" as hotkeys set to capture a region of the screen

    I can have the distance displaying then release the Ctrl key - while still holding down the left mouse button - and the Shift-Printscreen combination will then bring up the screen capture tool allowing me to capture the distance being displayed

    Does that make sense?

    I have windows 10 and usually use the native snipping tool.  I'll research the tool you mentioned.  I hope faithlife in the future adds an option to have the distance displayed and freeze it though
