Set Zero Point for Rulers Click and drag the icon at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical rulers (highlighted with a yellow rectangle in the illustration above). Position the cross-hairs where you would like the zero point for the ruler to be. In this sample, the zero point has been moved to the upper left corner of the rectangle. |

Set Scale Choose View, Grid and Ruler Setup or right click on the ruler to open the Options Window. Click on Edit Scale. With this setting you can set the scale for the document, i.e., each inch on the page represents 10" in "world measure." The ruler will show the actual, or "world" measure. This allows you to work in a scale like 10:1, and yet gives you 1/10 the page size to deal with. Use this for large projects like drafting home plans, designing billboards, etc. |
