Product Information

Full details

The Jakar Architect 2 Triangular Scale is designed for architects, engineers, students, and professional designers who require high-precision measurement in technical drawings and scaled models. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of six distinct metric scales that simplify complex drafting tasks and minimize measurement errors, though the rigid polystyrene construction requires careful handling to avoid chipping the precise edges.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this ruler include imperial measurements?

No, the Jakar Architect 2 is strictly a metric scale ruler.

Can I use this for cutting with a craft knife?

It is not recommended. The polystyrene material can be easily damaged or nicked by sharp blades.

What is the total length of the ruler?

The ruler is 30cm in length, which is the standard size for most professional drafting tasks.

Is the ruler flexible?

No, it is constructed from rigid, warp-resistant polystyrene designed to maintain a perfectly straight edge.

Why are the markings in two colours?

The dual-colour system allows users to quickly differentiate between the various scale ratios, speeding up the drafting process.

Troubleshooting

Measurements seem inaccurate on long lines

Ensure the ruler is laid completely flat and that you are using a sharp drafting pencil or thin-tipped pen to maintain consistent contact with the paper.

Scale markings are becoming difficult to read

Gently wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove graphite or eraser dust buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Comprehensive range of six metric scales for varied projects
Lightweight and portable for travel between studio and field
Dual-colour markings significantly reduce reading fatigue and error
Stable triangular base prevents the ruler from rolling off drafting tables

Cons

Polystyrene material can be brittle if dropped on hard surfaces
Lack of imperial scales may limit use in some regions
The triangular profile takes up more desk space than flat rulers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This scale requires no setup and is ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the tool, store it in a protective case or a dedicated desk slot rather than loose in a bag where the edges might chip. When cleaning the ruler, use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, which can degrade the printing on the polystyrene surface. The ruler is compatible with all standard drafting pencils, technical pens, and drawing media. Always place the ruler on a flat surface to prevent accidental snapping or warping over time.
