Ruler similar to apple notes app (ios9)

I don't know if there is an API for that, but this ruler is awesome and far better to draw technical stuff than the simple shape recognition (which is awesome, too).

    Morpholio Trace also has it.
    But having it in good notes would be awesome as a student.

    Yes! It will help immensely in creating wireframes. I primarily use good notes to create flows, but the shape recognition tool could be inconsistent sometimes.

    I have just started using Goodnotes 5 and I'm missing a ruler very much. Please add it to the app.

    please add a ruler. it would make my life as a designer much easier

    the shapes tool doesn't cut it. it would be nice to have some level of measuring.

    Hello this file below is explaining the dots ruler.
    And I think It should add more style like “-“ or star.

    Please add a ruler! I need to measure the physical length of the lines I draw. I’m doing this now by using a physical ruler on top of my iPad screen, which is ridiculous.

    Hold pen to straighten feature would be SO useful. Plus, Shapes tool with vertices that leave it manipulatable and show degrees.. a whole new world!

    Yes, a Ruler (like in iOS13 Notes) and a Compass for drawing Circles (or parts of it) would be awesome. It´s not only to have the straight lines and the circles, but to see these tools in presentation-mode when using them! I‘m a math-teacher and use Goodnotes in class.

    Please... just add the ruler! So many already asking.. pretty please?! Need one so badly to perfect this app!!!

  • Sad commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Almost 2020 and still don’t have a simple ruler... please add that feature already.

    Apple said they have an API for the new tools in the notes app. They should port that over

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Having some sort of ruler, controllable with fingers of one hand while the pen is used in the other, as in real life, would be a definite benefit.

  • Wei Sheng commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Would be great if there would be a ruler available that shows the accurate length even when you zoom in and out
