Virtual Ruler

Virtual Ruler is a software tool that was developed specifically to help individuals in creating straight lines with their mouse in any program.

Uneventful install and clear interface

The installation process is a piece of cake, as it does not offer to download any kind of third-party products, and it does not last longer than a few moments. After you complete it, you come face to face with a minimal UI.
Both power and novice users can learn how to find their way around it with great ease, regardless of their previous experience with computers. Moreover, it is non-obtrusive, as it can be sent to the system tray at any point, with a simple click.

Tweak settings

This software utility enables you to make perfectly straight lines with your mouse and activating this operation at any point, through a custom keyboard shortcut. Aside from that, you should know it is possible to make several points and connect all the lines in the order set by you, through specified hotkeys and delay time.
Virtual Ruler also lets you create circles when a specific key is used. In addition to that, you should know it is possible to change the accuracy with the help of a slider bar and you can treat points as radius instead of diameter.

Conclusion and performance

It is not quite friendly to the computer’s performance, as it uses, at times, quite high amounts of CPU and memory. The response time is quite good, the interface is unobtrusive and simple-to-use, and we did not detect any kind of issues. Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say Virtual Ruler is a simple, yet efficient piece of software.
