[HELP] The ruler tool

[makman94]

actually there is an accurate ruler . here : [REL] Improved Malloy's Ruler

@Archer9 : you will find the instructions of how to use it inside its .rar
you can use it at any scale of navmap but the most comfort scale is the 0-500m of map . study carefully the readme and you will figure out that the tool can be used at any scale with the proper attention at the divisions of map's scale

@Fader_Berg : you are drawing lines on paper and not at sea !
if i give you a ruler and a paper and ask you to draw a 16,85 cm long line ...you can't do it with extreme accuracy ? it is the same thing ! Navigator officer has a ruler and a paper and wants to draw a 20cm long line....why not to be able to it with extreme accuracy ?

If you don't trust the ruler, use the compass.

Well, one might want to draw lines with extreme accuracy just for the sake of it. I didn't think of that.
However, if I had a ruler that made it possible for me to draw a line down to nanometer precision. I would not use it to that extent, since you told me just to be within a tenth of a milimeter.
What I'm trying to say is, that he'll be well off with the existing ruler. Since he will not get any data to work with, that makes the more accuracy worthwhile. Not in practikal use, anyway.
