Frequently asked questions
Where is Ruling in the menu?
Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Ruling
What can I adjust?
Adjust the controls above in the right sidebar after placing Ruling on the bed.
Is this non-destructive?
Objects live on layers as elements. You can edit parameters anytime; delete the element to remove it.
Does Ruling work with multi-pen plotting?
Yes. Use Pen Palette on a layer to split linework by color, or set per-path ink on modifiers like Offset.
