ID: Q69828

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a
Paintbrush does not have a set of on-screen rulers that you can use to gauge the size of your drawings. However, you can use the Image Attributes command to set the size of your drawing area, as follows:
  1. Start Paintbrush.


  2. From the Option menu, choose Image Attributes.


  3. Select In (inches) from the Units section.


  4. Select Width and type a value for the horizontal size that you want your image to be.


  5. Select Height and type a value for the vertical size that you want your image to be.


  6. Choose OK.


  7. From the File menu, choose New.


  8. The drawing screen size will now be the exact size of the image to be drawn.
