Ruler Tool Disappears when starting...

Is there a way to have the ruler tool remain visible once it has been created and you proceed to use another tool, e.g. I would like to use the ruler to tool as a guide to place lines, but when I select the brush tool to draw the line, the ruler ''line'' becomes invisible. Any ideas?

I assume you're talking about the Measure Tool (grouped in the Toolbox with the Eyedropper and Color Sampler Tools).

%26lt;br /%26gt;What you hope for can't be done.
%26lt;br /%26gt;
%26lt;br /%26gt;One workaround would be to pull out guidelines that intersect at both ends of the measurement you've made.
%26lt;br /%26gt;
%26lt;br /%26gt;This points to another good reason the Guidelines functions could use a some enhancements.
