Hello David,

If you use the ROI manager under Analyze --> Tools --> ROI manager, you can use the t key to add a line to the ROI manager in place of shift click, you can use the show all checkbox to keep ROIs displayed as you draw them, and you could even use the More --> MultiMeasure tool to measure all of your lines at once, after they are drawn.  

Does this help you?
Best,
Christine

Subject: Re: simultaneously obtaining ROI and measurement data

Hello,

I've searched the forum archives and found related threads but did not find
the answer to my question -- I have an image containing multiple structures
of interest.  I measure each using the line tool followed by Ctrl-M. Then I
add each measurement line as an ROI, holding Shift as I click Add in the
ROI dialogue to keep the measurement line displayed.

With dozens of of structures to measure in every image it would be much
better if I could capture the ROI data (where is the line) at the same time
I capture the measurement data (how long is the line).

Is there a way to capture both types of data in one step?  What about
keeping successive measurement lines displayed?

Thank you
David
