• version 1.212

  • measure always an option, which allows you to see the StemPlow all the time
  • Anchoring System ( in order to turn it on check anchor guide to the outline in the settings, while measure always is on as well )

    when this option is turned on as well as measure always, use your shortcut to anchor and unanchor StemPlow to your outlines. The ruler should stick to your shape.

I've learned a lot about Subscribers and Merz while making this version of StemPlow. I wouldn't be able to do it, if not for @typesupply's laser measure extension Laser Measure extension. I've based a lot of math on awesome Primer on Bézier curves.
