To better illustrate these variables, the following shape will be used and the various measurements will be
determined using the
Ruler
:
X/Y:
This is the starting position on the screen and will match the X/Y grid location on the
Cutting Mat
.
You can extend beyond the boundaries of the mat, if needed.
W x H:
Indicates how far the mouse has been dragged away from the starting point. Note that as the
mouse is dragged, a blue dotted line will appear. In this example, when measuring for the distance “
a
”,
the
H
should be zero since it’s a vertical measurement only. In fact, making sure
H
is 0 is one way to
make sure the
W
is the correct measurement needed:
Distance:
This is the actual measurement between the starting location and the ending location. In the
prior measurement,
W
is the same as
Distance
because the measurement was a horizontal one. But
