Summary

This is a project that I did to test the cut/score detail of my new D1 Pro.
I also find it annoying that almost all rulers only have markings on one side so you can only measure accurately from one side/direction so I have created length marks mirrored onto both edges of the rulers.
I use Inch for almost all work that I do however I understand some of the benefits of the MM and know that many people prefer these measurements so I have created rulers in both measurements. I also I decided to try decimal inch format because working with calipers the standard is thousandths of an inch which results in some of the benefits of the metric system that people argue for, so I thought it might be interesting to try making a ruler that way (if for no other reason then to mess with peoples heads =P )
included in this project are:

CM rulers with 1 mm hash marks, with 10 CM increments from 10-50CM long 

Inch rulers with 16th inch hash marks (number fractions denoting 1/8 increments, because the one that I tested at 16ths looked too busy for my taste, (although that one is included..) in 6 inch increments 6-18 inchs long

"Decimal Inch" rulers with .100 inch hash marks in 5 inch increments from 5-20 inches long. if you are familiar with using a caliper this should be fairly intuitive to use but may really mess with some peoples heads ;) 


when I cut my first ruler I made a box the same size as the ruler in XCS and placed it right over the ruler to use as a cut path, but you can "ungroup" the ruler and select the rectangle for the cut path if you prefer. on my first one I did an offset of the laser because on a previous cut I seemed to be about .040 (~1mm) undersize so I set an offset in the cut, however I also changed my cut settings and ended up oversize by that same offset that I had used, so if you are concerned about the accuracy of the absolute length you may want to make a test cut with your settings, checking with a 6 inch caliper on one of my 6" rulers I am within .002" (~.05mm) after my cut!
