Hi Shawn, Thanks for the quick reply. The confusion is indeed unfortunately and might be cause to consider different names before this becomes a FAQ.
Beyond that, it is a pleasant surprise to see that the 'old' ruler has improved functionality compared to the 5.0.1 version. The additional Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 keys for picking the end points make a *very* welcome addition!

The one under the filters menu is the one you are seeing. It was added so that the user could measure the dataset in each dimension (and possibly it could be extended to selecting other measurements). The older behavior is the Ruler under the Sources menu (it doesn't take an input dataset, but you can freely set its end points). The fact that they are named the same means that the Ctrl-Space search favors the one in the filters menu. Perhaps we could change the name of one of them to make it more clear?

Using paraview 5.2.0-g332666c (64bit, linux) and the 'ruler' filter only seems to have the following properties: * x/y/z axis enumeration. That's all. In a previous version (5.0.1) there was also the ability to specify the begin/end points and even to select them on an existing mesh point. Now the ruler just seems to display the overall length of the object in a particular axis. Is this a feature or bug?
