What is Ruler Tool?

The Ruler tool assists you setting photos or elements precisely. The Ruler tool determines the range between any types of 2 points in the work area. When you measure from one point to another, a nonprinting line is drawn, and the option bar as well as Info panel reveal the following to information:

The beginning location (X and Y).
The horizontal (W) and vertical (H) distances took a travel from the x as well as y axes.
The angle measured relative to the axis (A).
The overall length took a traveled (D1).
The two lengths traveled (D1 and D2), when you utilize a protractor.

All measurements other than the angle are calculated in the unit of measure presently set in the Units & Rulers preference dialog box.
If your document has an existing measuring line, selecting the Ruler tool causes it to be shown.

How Use Ruler Tool
