Searching for Scale Bar

Mateus090985

I have searched the internet for scale bars and have not much luck. I specially want one that looks good with this compass.

Any help?

I engaged in a similarly fruitless search for scale bars a few weeks ago. There is an edition of the Annual which provides you with the ability to create your own (along with borders). There are also some additional scale bars provided in different annuals. Aside from that...i'm just as clueless.

Thank you. I already have what you mentioned and sadly I could not find a scale bar that looked nice with this compass =(. I will try to look on the anual that let me create one. Can you give me a refecence (anual and number)?

I didn't have a lot of luck. The closest I could come was pictures of brass objects (ruler, sextant) that could be edited to make an interesting scale with consistent style.

Thanks for the help Steve. I will see if I can turn some of these on symbols.

T.S.T.! Lol.

NEWSFLASH: As of writing this - just got home a little while ago from the hospital. sciatic nerve got pinched in my butt bone from sitting on my lazy backside too much - woke up in exquisite misery, lol. Bad side - I have to stand up most of day and walk as much as possible - sitting has to be kept at a minium, good news - I might actually work off my middle aged beer gut, lol. Gives me an excuse to walk around with a cane pretending to be a Bond villian, lol.

Note to self - ditch the lousy old desk chair, lol.
