You mean the the rule has millimeters as the unit an at 1:1 zoom you want 1 millimeter of the ruler to be 1 millimeter on the screen? Then yes, you'll need some way to convert millimetres to units used on screen. Though I don't understand why you want such strict equality. You won't measure distances on the screen with a physical ruler anyway, right?
I guess a simple example would be "Word". When you print the doc, it shuld look like on the screen, right?
While for applications such as 'Word' it's just a nice-to-have feature, there are applications such as 'Illustrator' where it is imperative. Regards, Stefan
