I have been using a program called Ruler.exe by Dr. J Kummalil. It
could be used in any program, and the scale could be change from metric to English. It could be used horizontally or vertically. It ran with out installling, so was very low in overhead. I used it in laying out christmas cards and many similar application where you need to position items in documents. The program worked until one of the recent Windows 10 updates. Does any one know of a good substitute that will run under Windows 10 OS build 17135.112 and forward? Would also consider an updated version of Dr. J Kummali's progran. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre

It could be a dotNET program, calling on a dotNET version you haven't enabled in Programs and Features : Windows Features. see if your .NET 3.5 is turned on. As an OS customer, you're expected to do forensics and figure out dependencies, like you were a developer or something... Paul

Only downside since Win10 is that when you click and drag the ruler a transparent box appears which moves and when you let go the ruler snaps back to the box. In Win7 the ruler moved and you could position it very accurately, now it is a bit more guess work, shame really, I just wish I could cure that. Next best ruler IMO is Aruler https://www.arulerforwindows.com/ -- mick
