Using the quadratic Bézier creation for a ruler takes a little getting used to, and usually, some refinement after the initial points are laid out. Follow these steps to create a curve ruler with quadratic Bézier:
- Select the Curve Ruler and then the Quadratic Bezier option from the Tool Property palette.
- Click on the canvas once, at the point where you'd like the ruler to start.
- Click on the point where you would like the ruler to start curving. This will create a small square handle at the clicked point.
- Move the cursor to another point on the canvas. The line of the ruler will bend according to where the second click was placed and where the cursor is now.
- Continue clicking to add boxes and curves to the ruler ...
