Use ActivInspire’s ruler as a ‘virtual’ chalkboard ruler, to give a traditional character to any lesson.
From the Tools Menu, select Maths Tools > Ruler.
Hover with the cursor:
Centre – free move
Right or left – make longer or shorter
Top or bottom – turn. The angle is shown in the box
With the Pen Tool selected, hover with the cursor near the edge of the ruler. A small circle appears on the edge of the ruler. This shows the Pen is ready to draw a straight line along the edge of the Ruler.
Right click on the Settings icon to display a drop-down menu
Select Close to dismiss the Ruler.
