Rulers and Guides

Feature Request
4

This has been requested as a feature in the past. We’ll see what happens on it.

Until then, the work-arounds are:

  • count squares as @Radiation noted
  • draw geometry to check a size — since Carbide Create draws from the inside out this results in a piece of geometry twice as large as needed, but scaling to 0.5 will get one an accurate measurement from point to point EDIT: Note that in newer versions, holding down control when drawing a rectangle will draw from corner-to-corner, so that scaling isn’t necessary anymore
  • import a ruler — there was one drawn up in the thread: Ruler in Carbide create - #36 by ClayJar and c.f., Ruler in Carbide create - #44 by IrishMoss
  • draw in a 3rd party application such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape or Serif’s Affinity Designer and import an exported SVG.
