Printable ruler
Short of rulers in class or at work? Print them at true size, check the check line, and cut them out. The scale ruler shows the drawing's measurements in real metres.
The ruler
Quick: pick a ruler and print. Advanced: what 1 mm and 1 cm on paper are in reality at each scale.
- Print at «Actual size» / 100 %.
- Measure the check line at the bottom with a real ruler: it must be exactly 10 cm.
- Cut along the frame, and preferably glue the ruler onto card.
