Hey!

I guess the title says almost everything.
I need to get to know the size/weight of a custom shape, measured in points.
I basically need to get to know which of two almost similar shapes are the physically biggest (the shapes are quite organic and complex, so I'm not able to tell from looking at them).

I hope I've made myself/my problem clear, and that someone are willing, and able to help.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,

Ctrl + R = Show the rulers in along the sides

Right click the rulers, change the measurement scale to points.

Then you can use guides, or the ruler tool itself to measure your shapes.
