Sketch Ink Ruler

“

- For this week's tip, we're going to be focusing in on the Sketch Ink ruler. So, if you already have Sketch Ink turned on, go up to the tab, click on Sketch, and come over here to front plane. Alright, now make sure you don't have any of these other things turned on here, and all you want to turn on is just the ruler. Now the ruler works pretty cool. If you want to move this around the screen, you can click on it, and just move it around your screen on your touch-enabled device. If you want to rotate it, just click on it with two fingers and you can rotate it around the screen using that. Notice we have this handy little display of the exact angle we happen to be at. Again, rotate it around, and when you're ready to start drawing, I can draw just along the edge of the ruler. I can also draw along the other edge of the ruler, no problem. Move it somewhere else, and I continue drawing along my ruler on either side. If you'd like to switch over to a different color, click over here…
