Yes, I could print the drawing, measure the image on paper and calculate a scale, e.g 1” on paper = 14.5 real world inches.

The only thing shown in the manual pdf page was a line drawn illustration. While waiting fior it to be delivered she was wondering about the shelf and drawer spacing. My refrigerator example came from real life last week. I manage a couple of small “non profit” websites so nothing is highly critical and I’m not working to satisfy a boss or critical client.Ī lot of the measuring I do would be on the screen image of a photograph or illustration. I was trained as a photographer so even when I was most active I was a self-taught, amateur graphic designer. I had attempted to reply to the email notice I had received from GDF, but that appears to not arrived her the way I’d anticipated. I would love too hear from someone who is familiar with Onde Rulers and could explain the correct step-by-step order of calibrating units.įailing that, anyone who uses screen measuring software that they love will PLEASE jump in an and make a recommendation. If I try to do it the other way around, setting the inches first, that number changes when I enter a new pixels count. If I input a number of pixels and then a number of inches, the number of pixels updates.

When I try to calibrate units on the Onde Rulers I am not able to make a ratio between pixels and inches stick. Then when I move the ruler and measure an object half that size (200 px) the ruler will read 4'. I need to set the ruler so that it, for example, knows that a 400 pixel long object on the screen is 8' long in the real world.

But, I cannot figure out how to calibrate the ruler’s units. I have purchased Onde Rulers and am sure it will do what I need it to. I want to be able to measure the size/length of objects on the computer screen. Unfortunately, Calipers is not available for Mac. For years I used Iconico Calipers in Windows to measure objects on the screen. I have recently switched from Windows to MacOS (Big Sur 11.6). Hi All - I’m a Forum noobie and this is my first post so please excuse any missteps.
