Is there a "Ruler" in 2022?

Hi guys, is there a Ruler in 2022 if so where is it as I have to keep going back to S1 to make measurements.

I am also scratching my head trying to figure that one out as well. Currently I am jumping back into S1 to add and adjust rulers. A search of the Forums revealed nothing on the matter of adding rules.

The ruler tool for S20 is under standard splines and search for ruler. Took me a while to find that!

Yes, Imperial ruler and Metric ruler are available as spline objects in both versions of surveyor now. Interestingly, they can be used to measure curves now by adding more than two spline points.

In Surveyor 2.0, Pick the track icon in the asset panel on the left and then put ruler in the search field. In Classic, it is on the Objects panel, click on the right box at the top of the panel to enter spline mode. Then change the yellow text to read ruler.

Sorry I just checked and this sentence should read In Surveyor 2.0, Pick the Scenery Spline icon in the asset panel on the left and then put ruler in the search field.

Thank you both for that. Mystery solved. But it seems I will have a learning curve to master these new rulers.

Thank you guys for your help. I agree we need a bit of tine to get used to them, but I think it's a maguro improvement.

PS what other goodies can we find down there?

The great thing about the ruler spline in S2.0 is that you can get much more accurate measurements than the one in Classic. Also, if you have S2.0, you can use these rulers in Surveyor Classic as well.

Is it safe to assume that the Imperial ruler still has the same rounding error as in previous versions?
