## Summary

ruler and guide system from Adobe Illustrator — drop it over any frame and you get draggable guide lines.

## Description

**DISCLAIMER:** To have it work properly, set:

-   `Pointer events: none`
    

**Ruler** is a Framer component that recreates the ruler and guide system from Adobe Illustrator — drop it over any frame and you get draggable guide lines. Everything is click-through by default so it sits on top of your existing content without blocking anything.

**Features:**

-   **Dark/Light Mode** **Support** — toggles the ruler strips between dark and light mode
    
-   **Show Guides** — shows or hides all placed guide lines. Useful if you want the rulers visible without the guides cluttering the view.
    
-   **Horiz. Ruler** — turns the horizontal ruler strip on or off entirely.
    
-   **Horiz. Side** — when the horizontal ruler is on, choose whether it sits at the top or bottom of the frame.
    
-   **Vert. Ruler** — turns the vertical ruler strip on or off entirely.
    
-   **Vert. Side** — when the vertical ruler is on, choose whether it sits on the left or right side of the frame.
    

**Potential Use Cases:**

-   **UI/UX or graphic designer portfolio** — Could be used as a landing page element to add a subtle "WOW" factor.
    
-   **Design educator or course creator** — if you're teaching design tools or any sort of visual principles, having this on your site immediately establishes some context.
    
-   **Creative agency or design studio** — These types of businesses are always pushing the envelope of interactivity on their site, and this turns a normal webpage into something like a working environment.
    

**Support:**
