Westcott B-70 8ths Graph Beveled Ruler, 12 in

This is a nice ruler and it is worth having it as it helps with 90 degree angles but I noticed there are some not so even spots on the edge. A bit of sandpaper work solves the problem but one should not have to do that. Still is a good ruler.

An easy to use tool for measuring.

Best thing ever for my drawing 1 class in college. Perspective……..

These rulers are the best! I have a variety of sizes. From a 6 inch to 18 inches. I bought this one as a replacement for the one I bought 20 years ago which finally faded to the point that it was harder to use. I also had damaged the edges by using it with an x-acto knife. Don't do that. And my kid had snapped it in half, was back together with packing tape. But when you think about it, 20 years is a long long time for thin bit of plastic. This one is just as nice. I use it for crafts, and sewing, and scrapbooking, and all that stuff. It makes getting right angles and 45 degree angles a snap. I can make a set of parallel lines in no time. I can layout the lines for matt boards in no time. The centering bit on the center line is one of my favorite parts. I hope they still make these when it is time to get a new one in 20 years or so.

I wish it were a little more sturdy, but for what it is, it is perfect

I use this ruler specifically when I need to make one or more straight lines parallel with the edge of paper. The transparency and the grid make it very easy to do so and I'm not spending time carefully making sure I'm lining up a ruler on each side of the paper to mark both ends exactly, and hoping I got it right so that the line is truly parallel to the edge of paper. This makes it quick and easy. The grid also makes it easy to quickly find the center of the line.

I carry this with me at all times in my sketchbook! It is so incredibly useful for sketching and measuring proportions. I used to measure in the air using my pencil as I was taught in art school and this is so much better and more precise.You can look through it and measure objects against the grid and then use the same grid on your paper. and it’s easy to change sizes this way. The way the grid is broken up it’s easy to make things double or half the size as life or even do a fraction like 3/2 the size of life.Constructing complex scenes is so much easier with a transparent ruler.Incredible tool

The fact that it is transparent and has clearly marked grid lines makes it so very useful for sewing and drawing/drafting projects. The fact that the width of the lines varies, with the inch and half inch lines being wider, adds to the ease of use. I bought this one to replace an old one, and was pleased to discover that the same ruler was still available after 30 years!
