Wider Vertical Ruler ?

Is it possible to get a wider vertical ruler? The numbers are awkward to read and slows you down.

Just wide enough for the numbers to read horizontally instead of from top to bottom.

It's just impossible to easily find individual measurements if they go to more than two digits.

This looks like there is an error in the UI.

@EugeneBotha,

does that behavior happens in all zoom levels?

I can see the same behaviour (depending on the ruler units and the actual zoom level).

 

For example, if your ruler units are set to millimetre and the zoom level to 100 %, at least all triple-digit indicators are not very well organised on the vertical ruler.

 

It gets worse if you are trying to locate four-digit indicators.

This also Mac OS 10.14.6 and the latest (German) version of Illustrator.

On a Macbook Pro (13 inch, 2013)

Maybe you use an external or bigger monitor?


I've already tested it on different machines with different monitors and different versions of Illustrator. The issue appears way too often. One version that worked as expected was Illustrator CS 2 (screen resolution 1920/1200).

 

However, legible rulers should not be dependent on different screen resolutions.

This is not something I see on my machine. Has it always been like that?

Did you change something in Preferences > User Interface?
