If I do not remember incorrectly, it was possible before to see the ruler name and length in the slice view. Now I can only see it in the 3D view. How can I get the slice view to show the ruler name and length?

Using the latest Slicer preview version on Linux.

Best regards,

You can display labels at markup line endpoints.

Currently, node label and length are not displayed in slice views but we plan to add these soon.
