Using the tape measure it is easily possible to find the exact distances between objects in 2D and 3D view. To start the tape measure just click on the icon or select the tape measure in the menu CAD.

In the 2D view, the tape measure is placed by clicking on two points in the CAD window. The end points of the tape measure will snap to grids, help lines, insertion points of objects and to the bounding box of objects. If the snap is not to that point you like it to be, just zoom into the scene and the snap will be more accurate.

In the 3D view, there are even more distances visible. There you can see the direct distance between two points as well as their heights above the floor and the distance on floor level.
