What it does
• Converts a real length into the length on a map or model, and back
• Works out the scale from the two lengths given
• Comes with 57 common scales, each under its own name: models 1:1 to 1:700 (H0, N, TT, Z, OO, S, O), wargaming by figure size from 54mm to 3mm (28mm · 1:56, 15mm · 1:100, 6mm · 1:285 and 1:300), architecture 1:20 to 1:500 along with the inch scales (1/4″ = 1′, 1/8″ = 1′) and maps 1:1,000 to 1:1,000,000, including the 1:24,000 USGS sheet
• Keeps a list of the scales used most recently
• Saves your own scales under names you choose, such as 1:22.5 for a garden railway
• Remembers the last settings, so nothing has to be typed in again after a restart
• Shows the scale three ways: 0.02, 2% of full size, or 1 cm = 250 m
• Calculates in millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, inches, feet, yards, miles and nautical miles
• Converts areas and volumes as well, including hectares, acres, litres and millilitres
• Suggests the standard scale for fitting a drawing onto a sheet, from A4 to A0 and from Letter to ARCH E
• Copies the result or passes it on to another app
• Keeps a list of named dimensions and converts them all at the scale that is set
• Shares the list as text or saves it as a CSV file
• Turns the screen into a scale ruler, graduated at true size and in real distances
• Calibrates the ruler against a bank card
