Weird request maybe but an update to the ruler would be great.

In the Netherlands the theaters work with a system called ''theater meters''. This means from the center of the stage they measure to the outside on the flybars in distances 0.5 meters they are called meters and are written as following see table below.

Current capture ruler

-2.0m

-1.5m

-1.0m

-0.5m

Center

0.5m

1.0m

1.5m

2.0m

''theater meters''

We use this system since the distance between the 1 and 1 is 1meter and between 2 and 2 is 2meters etcetera.

This would be great to have as an extra option to the ruler especially for plots? Currently I have the ruler aligned from the center and in sections of 0.5m but this makes it kind of hard to understand in Dutch theaters unfortunately because the drawing now states 0.5 meters but on the flybars this means 1 meter

Hope this is clear and maybe more people want an updated ruler? :)
