Measure View
Measures view can be switched on by clicking the Measure icon, 
, in the Media Browser.
The Measures view filters the measures from all pages and windows in the current session and displays them in the respective hierarchy, with Measures and its parent entities such as Movie (Media), Window and Page, as shown in the picture below.
Similar to Movies view, the Measures view also offers features such as a search and selection bar.

- Use Units
- The Units option is disabled by default if a Master Unit Measure has not been defined. Once it is defined, this option is automatically enabled and checked. This specifies that the defined units and pixel conversion factor defined by the master unit measure should be used when showing the magnitude, Delta X, and Delta Y values, and when plotting any curves created from the measures. This is a global setting that applies to all measures.
