Imperial Measurements on Ruler Shape

[maxwellsauber]

Would be fantastic to have both Metric and Imperial measurements on the ruler shape with a toggle. I spend a lot of time looing for my physical ruler that has both to do quick conversions (I can't math) and it would be fantastic not to have to find it EVERY SINGLE TIME ;P

@maxwellsauber thank you, not having to look for the real ruler is a good reason. Today the ruler has one scale and follows the unit switch at the bottom right: in millimetres, and once you switch to inches, in inches, with a line every sixteenth of an inch. So for a quick conversion you click the switch and read the same ruler in the other unit; both scales at once are not there. Would that switch do for you, or is it the two scales side by side that you want?

Both visible at the same time would be ideal. 😀

just do math, division is easy

@maxwellsauber the ruler now carries both scales at once, in 1.113.0: the scale of your unit along the top edge and the other along the bottom edge, so a quick conversion needs no switch. A ruler narrower than 15 mm keeps its single scale.
