Is there any way to measure on move?

I'm trying ot use a system without strictly gridded movement - you wiggle miniatures about freely - but it still has movement limits. The downside is that it's hard to estimate distance effectively that way, when you have to measure with the ruler, eyeball the location, then try to drag the token to the exact same spot. Is there a way to drag a token and measure distance as you do it?
While you're dragging the token and still holding the mouse button down, tap the space bar at every point you want to take a measurement. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Manipulating_Graphics" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Manipulating_Graphics</a> : See Waypoints.
If you start moving the token and thin hit space bar, you'll get a ruler line from the last position to the current position. While dragging, you can hit space again to drop waypoints (the path you generate will be visible to everyone).
This has changed everything and made my life fantastic. Thank you so much.
