It displays the tangents for a circle at any angle. This allows measurements of distance from the center to anything else. Each end tick is shown in the center of a circle so planting the tick in the center of a circle is easy. When moving endpoints a loupe shows an enlargement for more accurate tick placement. About the only real negative I have found is a node can not be placed on any of the 3 ticks, so they have to be placed close and then moved to be under the tick. Because it's always shown I can set it for a distance then use it to show where I need to place an object or node. Calibrations can be stored so they can be reused say at 100%, 150%, 200% etc. Of course if the zoom or document dimensions in AD/AP are changed it needs to be recalibrated, which only takes a half minute. Likewise any known object size can also be used to calibrate. It can be custom scaled using the ruler in AD/AP then be used to measure the distance between any two points at any angle. ![]() The really great feature is that it will sit on top of all other apps so even when using AD/AP it is visible. It does so many things that AD/AP still do not have the tools to accomplish. This app is so cool and it only costs $7. FYI I have no connection to Plum Amazing or PixelStick other than I have just purchased it. I went out to the PixelStick website: , did some reading and I've got to admit the possibilities were exciting. I was just reading a forum entry asking "Does Affinity Offer an On-screen Ruler?" In it there is a mention of an app called PixelStick. ![]()
