Usingthis method in addition to the first method will allow you to determine the size of the display diagonal. To avoid the known inconvenience associated with selecting a number by successive manual input, bring it to the desired value using the vertical scroll arrows that appear on the right side of the input field when you hover the cursor over it (when using the virtual ruler on a PC).
Keep in mind that the above instructions for setting up the ruler are valid only when the following conditions apply:Standard page scale adjustment in your browser (this is true for desktop browsers). When the scale is zoomed in/out, the ruler scale will shrink/stretch (along with other elements on the page that are subject to transformation during scaling). This will lead to a significant distortion of the online ruler readings. If you often, for example, change the font sizes on sites, be sure to set the scale to 100%;JavaScript is enabled;The ability to download images is enabled.
Select a comparison item to start calibrating the ruler,save the pixels per inch (PPI) according your own device, then you can use this ruler next time.
Pixels per inch : , show ruler adjuster
Dragging ruler adjuster left or right to fit the size of your reference object, remember to save the setting for the next time you use it, after save the setting, refresh your brower to check the result.On the most popular browsers you can press the F5 key or click on the refresh button.
This online ruler is free to use, and we want to provide a better native language environment, make it more natural and easier for everyone to use, if you are willing to offer a better description in your native language, benefit your fellow countrymen, please visit this translation page(click).
Below are some other language version.
One day, i took my laptop computer to work in the coffee shop, just had a project on hand, and i had to tell the customer the actual size of a product.Just like usual, i didn't carry a ruler with me, so i connected to the internet and tried to find an online virtual ruler to measure my product.
Unfortunately, after i tried the virtual online rulers on the Internet, i found a problem that these existing online rules are not very accurate. If i just want to know what the approximate length is, that's fine, but what i need is a more precise length so that i can apply it to my daily work.
Move your mouse cursor over the ruler and it will show the length, if you touch or click on it, it will talk to you, if you don't know how to read the ruler, try clicking on it, click in different places, it will tell you the length, it's kind of interesting.
I am very happy that many people like our online ruler,also i am very excited to review all the comments from all the visitors. Regarding the joke about comments or commands here, i decided to add a new "command" function(on the page top) for our dear friends,
In addirion to showing the length, I also addewd a comparison command,I try to make the AI interaction smarter, hope you like our new command function ?,welcome to try it and share it, let me know your idea.
The zoom ratio of current page is 100%, we recommend using a fixed zoom ratio of 100%,different zoom ratios will affect the accuracy of the ruler,please compare the physical item and calibrate the setting by yourself.
Changing the system font size on the phone will affect the layout of the web page, just use the pinch gesture to bring your fingers together to reduce the page size,zoom out to the minimum and you can see the full size ruler.
When you need to measure the length of something, is it always impossible to find a ruler, our digital online ruler can help you, support both metric and imperial units, it can be calibrated quickly and the measurement is very accurate.
This ruler measure in two different units of length, inches on one side (English ruler) and centimeters on the other side (metric ruler). A metric ruler is use to measure centimeter(cm) and millimeter(mm), the centimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units; An English ruler provides incremental measurements in inches, with each inch further divided into smaller fractions.
Read an English ruler using fractions of an inch. The distance between any two large numbered lines is 1 inch. The large unnumbered line that is halfway between them is 1/2 inch. The smaller (but still prominent) line between the 1/2 mark and the numbered inch line is 1/4 inch. The tiny little lines between all of the more prominent lines are 1/16 inch.
Observe the much simpler metric rulers. The distance between any two large numbered lines is 1 cm, a metric ruler features two types of lines. The largest mark centimeters, or cm. The smallest lines mark millimeters, or mm.The prominent line between any two numbered lines is 1/2 cm. The small lines between the 1/2 mark and the numbered centimeter mark are 1/10 cm, otherwise known as a millimeter, keep in mind that there are 10 mm to 1 cm. The measurements are decimalized and there are no fractions.
Record distances by the name of the line that it most closely matches. If the length of an object goes to one mark past the halfway mark on your ruler then it will be 9/16 inch on an English ruler or 6/10 cm (or 6 mm) on a metric ruler.
Please forgive me if this is a silly question, but is there a ruler function? I would like to be able to measure between certain points/lines/planes easily to know where to cut out shapes, etc. Thank you!
If you make a construction plane then use the line tool.start and end points on what you are trying to measure, then hylite the line it will give you a measurement to the side. There is a 2ed alternative at the bottom of the screen there are measurements as well.
The top one adds a dimension object to the design which is persistent. It goes on whatever layer is active. There are several types of dimension (aligned, orthogonal, center, and leader). You can switch between them with the palette.
Even though not absolutely necessary, they are one of those things that gives you a better intuitive feeling for the position and scale of what you are working on, which makes work more efficient for some users.
Does someone know if there is such a feature request already, and whether it has been discussed by developers or if they have given some indication whether it is something that might come in a future version?
They are like the difference between analog and digital (7 segments) clock.
The digital one give you the exact time.
The analogue, gives you the current time, how much it elapse, and how much it has to come.
Yes, I know, but may be there are some solutions that except the little triangle you see also the exact position (a small window with number traveling in place of that small triangle). I did not know if maybe the question was about such (hypothetical) rulers. It might have some sense. But as you need to position at the same time with X and Y axis I prefer to see both numbers together.
Edit:
If you edit some picture that will be just printed at paper than exact positions are not important and such simple rulers are helpful. If you are interested in exact positions than for me they to be helpful have to be precision.
If you are already clicking twice, then setup one of your mouse keys to be a ruler bindkey. The following example uses Ctrl-mouse2 (hold down the control key, and press your middle mouse button to start the ruler and then do the same to finish your ruler):
I still don't quite understand why you can't use the standard "smart ruler" capability that's in IC614 and later (unless you're using and older release - you didn't say). This does everything you want and also highlights visually the edge that will be snapped to. Maybe I've missed something?
Hi Andrew, I just wanted to create a ruler at particular distance(Like a GUI to pop up to ask from the point of cursor to what distance you need to create a ruler and by entering the number in GUI it should create a ruler to that distance) for that I have used dbCreateRuler() function but its not working properly as I expected.
Is there a way to set the interval of the rulers like you could in ArcMap? In ArcGIS Pro, the further zoomed in, the more tic marks on the rulers which may seem better, but it is difficult to see. In ArcMap, there was a setting for the interval of the rulers. If more intervals were needed, the setting could be changed. In Pro, there does not appear such a setting. The use case is this: in the legend of a map, there are descriptions of variable length. Between descriptions, there should be a consistent gap. In ArcMap, the rulers could be set to 0.1 inches and the guides were easy to see and set consistently. In Pro, the additional dozens of tick marks make it difficult to make the guides a consistent gap. If there is no way to do this, please consider it for a future release.
You can set Guides without using the Rulers using Add Guides (right click on any Ruler). Not sure what you are doing with the Legend but you can set the spacing of elements in the Legend element in the Legend pane under Legend Arrangement Options tab --> Spacing
Thanks for your note. The legend is in a geologic map with lengthy rock descriptions that are entered manually so legend tools are not in play for this particular use case. I may in the future try to use Arcade to automate the geo legend, but for now, just having the ability to set the interval on the rulers would solve everything.
Currently enhancement requests are not published to the support site, but I know that is a project for the future. For now, you either need to call tech support to be added as a "+1" to the ENH, or, you could submit an idea in the ArcGIS Pro idea exchange, and cite that you're looking for this functionality, and that it is already logged as ENH-000114737. Then we can link the ENH and Idea up on the backend and keep the community apprised of status updates through the idea. cc @AmeliaBradshaw
