Mission Editor Ruler Mechanics

[Elf1606688794]

Can someone explain the mechanics of using the mission editor ruler please?

I've gotten it to work a couple of times but I can't duplicate what I've done because I mess with things so much trying to get it to work and then all of a sudden it's working and I'm like....ok, what the frick did I do? lol

I'm not sure why it works and sometimes it doesn't but deselecting the ruler and then selecting it again "fixes" whatever is causing it to not work.

For a quick ruler, just press and hold the mouse scroll wheel button if you have one and move your mouse to a location.

I tried the mouse scroll wheel and it made me zoom in, that's in addition to showing the ruler.

I just meant press the wheel button, don't scroll.  Once pressed, hold and move the mouse around.

That's what I was doing.
