    You are a great teacher. I just bought my 1st triangular ruler (like the one my dad used when i was a child) and im 62.. i was hoping to learn but wondering how complicated they were to use.

    Excellent! When I worked in the sign business, I was never far from an architect's scale. My boss taught me the cross-scale, this is for drawings that were not to scale-one can still use an architect's scale as long as you have an overall height or width.
