Its a question of pixels. :-) If you can scale a marker to say 50 pixels per "inch" that means you can make a ruler 57 "inches" long, as the maximum size of a tile in CB is I believe around 570 or so (?). then you scale the pixels f the counter images to that. Or something similar. the ruler can roatate in any direction now that CB 3 has rotating markers (I love 'em! thanks Dale!), and you can dispose of it quickly if you do not use it. Also you can use the transparenyc in Cb to design a ruler you can see thru! :-) I use octagonal tiles for my sci-fi minis game, Firepower Pass. They are in actual fact 3" wide, but in the CB module I just made soemthing that looked good (the minis arenot scaled to the map). If you want to see it my CB module is available on the freebies tab of my site, http://www.vizpub.com. -- Yours, Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
