Ruler/Guides + Frame Dimensions

Tio add to the above:

A simple X, Y ruler would be great!

As Miro is almost infinitely zoomable. simple zooming could go all the way from nanometers (chemistry/physics)  to micrometers (microsystems engineering) to milimetres/cm (normal page layouts) to metres (architecture) to km (Geographers).

Being able to design blocks and move them around together at the required scale for your domain would be like and adult version of kids sitting with Lego.

It would also help if we could have a denser grid arrangement.

Some reference to scale would be welcome.  Miro lens towards being resolution agnostic, which is awesome, unless you need to export a presentation. 

I can set the frame size when I create it, but it feels very limited, and it is difficult to determine what scale you are working at.

Agree, some scale control would be nice. I use my boards with my students and it’s very difficult to measure frame and image sizes with sticky notes. Some boards appear too large, others too small .. you never know... 

@Agustin Varela the ‘zoom to’ function in the right bottom corner helps you jump back to 100% and in that case I attached two pictures how you see the frame’s exact size.

When you click on a sticky note on the menu there’s a ‘size’ option and you can choose from ‘S’, ‘M’, or ‘L’ sizes.

Thanks @Tamas Ver !

Ability to see Rulers, Guidelines, or SCALE objects or multiple objects with a pop up dimension box. Ie Select multiple objects and scale both to be  8x 11, or 11 x17

As a graphic and UX designer, it would be amazing to have guides in miro besides just the smart guides! Smart guides are great, but sometimes when I’m making complex templates nothing beats the ability to pull a guide from the ruler - similar to photoshop or sketch.

Really agree with this. Miro is a really great case to build out presentations directly from synthesis and we’d love a bit more control in terms of columns, type etc as it’s pretty close already!

There is some estimating/rounding/eyeing necessary in what I’ve developed below… but luckily my model doesn’t require extreme accuracy. I am trying to create printable model documents to be used a guide when I am setting up large professional displays on foam boards at work. 

I used the “letter size” frame as my guide, and eyeballed the miro squares in that… and was able to translate into miro squares per inch. Then I can create whatever size templates and mockups that I need… and print the letter sized frame. 

It sure would be nice to have a ruler function, ha!
