Add More Tick Marks to the Ruler at Large View Percentages
IWBNI additional ruler tick marks were inserted into the ruler when
a large view percentage is selected. As it is now, for view percentages
above 100%, the distance between tick marks on the ruler is:
Measurement Units | Distance Between Tick Marks |
EVPUs | 24 EVPUs |
Inches | 1/16 inch |
Centimeters | 1 millimeter |
Point | 6 points |
Picas | 1/2 pica |
Spaces | 1/2 space |
This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Ruler Options
to the View menu. This menu item would display a new dialog box
called Ruler Options that could contain the following controls:
