on line 1,
where cm is the current unit of measure and
km is the current displayed unit as selected in
the

the QuikRuler menu. For example, select
if the desired scale is 1cm = 5km.
• If the drawing scale is larger than 1:1, use a
decimal value. For example, if the scale is 5:1,
divide both sides of the ratio by 5 and select
so that the scale reads
1:.2
• If the drawing scale is given as 1/8 in=1 ft, for
example, multiply both sides of the equation
by 8 so that 1 in = 8 ft and select
so that
the QuikRuler scale reads
1:8
