      John, I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do πŸ˜•

      The video is also too blurred to make much sense out of. Any chance of a higher resolution version?

      cheers.

        hi Tom,

        Links and file sizes are driving me nuts, so now I've remembered it only needs to work on a Mac.... like the app.

        here's a reasonable quality version (with all my fumbling with a giant cursor!!!)

        it's took me 7 secs to download and you can watch in full screen to see what's happening.

        all the actions are SLOWED down, it's not as clunky in use...

        sorry for the others, I'll take it down

          Hi all,
          I made a [low quality] demo, but it's still >4MB

          Here's a download linkEDIT: NEW LINK

          REMOVED this one as well, too small, see two posts below for a full screen demo, link

          I'll sort out a smaller one later...

          john
          edit: replaced the broken link... this should work

              Me again,
              here's the link to the app, It's slowed down at the moment because I added a load of extra steps and delays to show what's happening...

              have a play

                  Hi Guys,

                  When I was back in the Stone Age using Windows πŸ˜‰ , I got very fond of a handy little utility called 'Meazure'. It was an on-line ruler.

                  Over the past couple of years I have come across a few similar Mac apps but none as good as Meazure until now!
                  PixelStick http://www.plumamazing.com/mac/pixelstick/ does the job very well. Check out the screencast on the site as it explains the in and outs.

                  Meazure allowed me to open multiple rulers which was needed at times. To do this in PixelStick I have to 'copy' the app and make multiple pixelsticks.

                  It looks to be free or a pay if you like! If you find it useful please consider buying as it helps the developer to improve the app.

                  Mike

                  PS: For all the Win users that have a peek in here, the link to Meazure is http://www.cthing.com/Meazure.asp πŸ˜†

                    Compress PDF Workflow 6.0

                    Apparently Apple removed this feature in Tiger! (How annoying! πŸ˜’ )

                    However after a little searching, I found this Automator script, that does a fab job- although a bit fiddly if you need to tweak it. 😐

                            Note: Free Ruler is only available for Mac OS X. It may work on Mac OS 9, but this has not been tested. It most definitely will not work on your stupid Windows PC.

                            Actually, this app would be useful if it actually stayed on top! 😑

                              I find RulerX better http://homepage.mac.com/kyasu/soft/

                              and to keep things 'on top' I use

                                      hands up if you ever do this on your Mac

                                      I've been doing a lot of research to write a ruby or applescript that lets me quickly view 2 or more models for various reasons, known only to Mac users ο£Ώ πŸ˜‰

                                      however I just found this, downloaded and tested and it's great, Free trial and a whole $5 if you like it...
                                      I;m still going to try and write my own SU specific plugin, but in the mean time...
                                      BTW, it also has grid selection, if you want 3 or more....
                                      http://manytricks.com/moom/
                                      anyhow thought I'd share as the search here says no-ones mentioned it before.

                                      have fun

                                            I can see great potential in this one especially for making transparent "flipbooks" in PNG format for overlaying on a sketchup model.
