Rulers<br />

You should see rulers (bars <strong>with</strong> numbers) on the<br />

upper and left-hand side of the workspace. <strong>The</strong><br />

rulers show the size of a selected object on the<br />

page (see the gray double lines, highlighted in<br />

Figure 150). When no object is selected, they show<br />

the location of the mouse pointer, which helps to<br />

accurately position drawing objects more<br />

accurately.<br />

You can also use the rulers to manage object<br />

handles and guide lines, making it easier to<br />

position objects. <strong>The</strong> page margins in the<br />

drawing area are also represented on the rulers.<br />

You can change the margins directly on the<br />

rulers by dragging them <strong>with</strong> the mouse.<br />

To modify the unit of measurement of a ruler,<br />

right-click on the ruler and select one of the<br />

measurement units. <strong>The</strong> two rulers can have<br />

different units.<br />
