Rulers and the grid
(
Editor only
)
About rulers and the grid
In Standard Edit, rulers and the grid help you position items (such as selections, layers, and shapes) precisely across
the width or length of an image. In Quick Fix, only the grid is available.
When visible, rulers appear along the top and left side of the active window. Markers in the ruler display the pointer’s
position when you move it. Changing the ruler origin (the 0, 0 mark on the top and left rulers) lets you measure from
a specific point on the image. The ruler origin also determines the grid’s point of origin.
Use the View menu to show or hide the rulers (Standard Edit only) and the grid, and to enable or disable the snapping
of items to the grid.
To change the rulers’ zero origin and settings
In Standard Edit, do one of the following:
To change the rulers’ zero origin, position the pointer over the intersection of the rulers in the upper left corner
of the window, and drag diagonally down onto the image. A set of cross hairs appears, marking the new origin on
the rulers. The new zero origin will be set where you release the mouse button.
Note:
To reset the ruler origin to its default value, double-click the upper left corner of the rulers.
