Ruler – On Screen
Tips and Tricks • Khan • 24 February 2023
Ruler
The Ruler is an editing aid that can be placed at the top and left side of the screen in every Archicad window, except the 3D Window and Schedules.
Use the Ruler as an aid in navigation: it lets you know where you are in the project, at the current zoom.
Show/Hide Ruler
Use the View > Ruler toggle to show or hide the Ruler.
You can also hide a ruler by right-clicking it and clicking the Ruler toggle.
As you move the cursor on screen, feedback on the ruler shows you the vertical and horizontal position of the cursor relative to the User Origin (or, if no User Origin has been created, relative to the Project Origin).
