This application, built by ARTIS Software and Iconfactory gives you a set of seven special tools to measure, align and inspect graphics and layouts on your screen. The complete set of tools is composed of rulers, a loupe, screens, guides, frames, dimensions and a crosshair. These give you very different yet precise methods of measuring elements on-screen.
