Screen Ruler

Magnifier window

The Magnifier window is toggled on and off by pressing the F12 function key.

The magnification can be changed between x1 and x20 by pressing the + or - keys, or by using the mouse wheel.

Press the Alt key when moving the mouse over the Screen Ruler window to temporarily hide the Screen Ruler line, to aid accurate positioning of the Ruler start or end points with the Magnifier. 

The Magnifier window can be moved and is resizeable. It can also be docked to the corner of the Screen Ruler window closest to the mouse position by holding Ctrl and pressing the F12 function key, even if the magnifier window is previously hidden. When docked, the Magnifier window moves with the Screen Ruler when the Screen Ruler window is moved or resized. Moving the Magnifier window separately (by dragging its title bar) undocks it from the Screen Ruler window again.

There are 8 docking positions around the Screen Ruler window as shown here:

The current Magnifier window position, size and magnification can be set to default the next time the program is started by using the Save as new defaults button, including if docked, the docked location.
