Then in the Tool Property window click on the small wrench icon in the lower right corner that the blue arrow is pointing to in the image below.Įach of these examples was made with a ruler with a Number of Lines of 4, so the drawing is being repeated four times in total around the ruler.
With Line symmetry on, the design is mirrored and “flipped” along the ruler. Line Symmetry can only be used for rulers with an even number of lines, rotational symmetry is used for rulers with an odd Number of Lines settings.īut with Line Symmetry off (which then turns it into rotational symmetry instead), the design is simply rotated around into each section of the ruler. Step of Angle allows you to set a minimum rotation angle for the ruler. The Create at Editing Layer checkbox controls where the ruler is created. With the checkbox on, the ruler will be made at whatever layer is currently active.
