I'll use my tape or the yardstick, depending on which is handy. If I want metric measurements, I use the tape, of course. The yardstick (or a meter stick) can also be handy if you need to draw a straight line on something (e.g., plywood, sheetrock, etc.). If I need the line to be vertical or horizontal (on a vertical surface), I'll use the 61 cm level instead. Bill Potts, CMS Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]
