Now this feature is available from location provider list (green button) under "Distance & Brg". With this feature you can quickly lay out any shape on the map with exact dimensions and orientation; measure regular polygons on a map surface with couple clicks.
How it works: - select "Distance & Brg" using green button
- add start point, otherwise last point will be used as a start point - make a SHORT / LONG touch on "My location" button to call input dialog - enter exact distance and angle / bearing - CHECK, if you want to userelative angle (calculated from the direction to the last point, opposite to the direction to the North. - use +/- buttons to add or remove points

New Partometer update v4.5 brings requested improvement to the Angle Mode. Now you can measure angles that are not visible or partially visible on the screen. It is achieved with the new option of using two independent (not connected) rulers for angle measurements.
The pictures below demonstrates how the new feature can be used:
Angle Mode in Partometer v4.5
For example, the new feature can be applied for the pipe bend estimation. If the diameter of a pipe is known, it can be used as a scale reference. Then bend angle and bend radius are easy to measure using the app.
Important condition for accurate measurements here is to keep object plane parallel to the camera plane to avoid picture distortion.
