The Smart Scale Ruler was created by Joanne Swisterski, an Interior Designer looking to solve scale and unit issues once and for all. This digital ruler can be customized for Architects, Designers, and Builders. Solving the common problems of out of scale drawings and differing units, this innovative new tool makes conversions simple for everyone.
The Smart Scale Ruler uses a long screen to display a custom ruler created by the user. This is done by inputting a physical reference of distance and the desired distance. The screen regenerates to create a ruler based on these parameters. Whatever is displayed can be converted to metric or imperial with one button. It can similarly be used to divide spaces equally for 2D drawings, and with a ratio applied for perspective drawings.
Check out how it all works:
The Smart Scale Ruler Kickstarter campaign is currently live with $40,283 pledged of their $51,722 goal. If this is a tool you would like to see in production there are 13 days left to help fund their goal.

You're not supposed to measure the drawings. If they don't provide the information you need the architect has failed.
This is a dysfunctional band aid for incompetence. On top of that it doesn't work with your iPhone. Maybe the best part of all is the oxymoronic web address smartscaleruler.
that's retarded m8. the architect's job is not to provide everything for everyone
The architect's job is to provide the information necessary to execute the project including dimensions.
But how could you possibly know that?
dumb and useless.
But wait, there's more!

From the promotional video on Kickstarter:
"If you're thinking, why wasn't this invented years ago?"
Because nobody was stupid enough?
