      I found this utility in another forum.

      It works well within SU and I have used it for estabishing window sizing when setting up page veiws, particularly when using parallel projections and setting up the zoom factor, object position relative to the window (I used to float SU toolbars to do this) or when fine tuning 2D exports.

      Since its settings are remembered in an ini file, you can save a ruler config used for a project and archive it with that project. Then, later on, if you need to, you can replicate the same ruler size and postion. Can be helpful if you accidentally update a page's view and save the file.

      Go here: http://delphi.about.com/library/weekly/aa080205a.htm to download.
      It is a free.

      Regards, John
