    Just an update.. if you do have some downloads of the curved rulers, I need this to be in the imperial unit (inches).

    So far my research has indicated that it will work with SVG version of the rulers with a different file type.  However you can only download for AI.  I would like to know if this would work in Inkscape as well?

    Does anyone know of or used these rulers in Inkscape?   The URL below is an example of what I am looking for, these rulers are installed in the library and then used within the program.

    I found a free download of rulers in Corel format, and cleaned them up for Inkscape. Attached below.

     

    ProTips:

    Write your questions/comments/concerns in the text reply area, not in word documents, and attach images to the message(s). This will get you better replies faster, as many readers will not download and open document files. It also helps other Inkscape users who search the google on similar issues.

    In addition to the file Tyler made, I share this link.

    It is from a previous topic and has several french curves in it. Both in svg format made in Inkscape and as a zip file for download.

    These svgs do not have rulers, but their curvatures (forms) may be helpful to someone.

    The link is:

    Hi Tyler, is there a way to locked down these object rulers permanently so that you can still click on a ruler and still be able to rotate, move etc without stretching or changing the actual ruler.

    thanks Carol
