Showing rulers

In UML visualization, you can show rulers in the diagram editor.

You must have a diagram open and active in the diagram editor.

To show rulers, right-click an empty space in a diagram; then click View > Rulers.

Note: When you turn on the rulers, the guidelines turn on simultaneously. You can drag the vertical and horizontal guidelines, which are anchored at the upper-left corner of the diagram editor, onto diagrams and then line up diagram elements to the guidelines.
