Right-click on the starting point of your measurement in the drawing window. This allows you to get a precise measurement by snapping to an exact point.

Right-click on the second snap point in the drawing. A dialog box will appear giving you the exact measurement between the two points. The length, distance, elevation, and angle will be shown.
