Protractor & Calipers (on screen)

hi guys,

this is your worst nightmare, i already use the onscreen protractor, now i have installed the onscreen version of the calipers, so you better get your angles and measurements right

these come from a company called Iconico, about $29

Tell me you're not serious?

If you are, then I've posted my last profile here.

votes for retiring from profiling everyone make sure you get it right or face the caliper and protractor treatment

Re: Protractor & Calipers (on screen)

Some ready-made exceuses:

"The jpeg compression is throwing off your measurement. I swear, that panel line is exactly 54.2 degrees in the original .psd file"

"Didn't you hear that they came out with a software patch for the calipers? Turns out they were wrong all the time."

"Did you account for the curvature of the Earth in your measurement?"

Re: Protractor & Calipers (on screen)

heeey,

no excuses!

John, I admire your new stick of correction. Heey, if the rivets arn't right, and the ratios don't look sweet, then John gonna burn yore profile. Soooo, with John's new tool of admonition, y'all get them numbers right. And it doan matter about imperial or metric - John's got de tool to deal with both. This pound of caliper, t'is dearly bought, t'is John's, and we shall all taste it, aye,

Pipl, we are sooooooooooo on notice,

Mclaring
