Frequently asked questions
What the Ruler icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The ruler icon represents a tool used for measurement or drafting, often used in design, architecture, or engineering software. This icon features a stylized representation of a ruler, which can be used to convey a sense of precision or measurement. Its presence indicates the ability to measure or draw precise lines or shapes.
In software applications, the ruler icon can be found in design, architecture, or engineering software like Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk AutoCAD, or SketchUp. When users interact with this icon, they expect to access measurement or drafting tools. The ruler design can make the icon more visually distinct and consistent with other design elements.
From a UX perspective, the ruler icon communicates the ability to measure or draw precise lines or shapes. It helps users understand the functionality of the software or tool and navigate the interface. When designing interfaces, it's essential to use this icon consistently with other design elements to provide a clear and intuitive user experience.
Ruler is one of 1,286 icons in Pepicons Print, made by CyCraft and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 20 × 20 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds RulerIcon to components/icons/pepicons-print-ruler.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed RulerIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Ruler icon, or any of 1,286 Pepicons Print icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 20 × 20 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Ruler", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. RulerIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RulerIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (CyCraft) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by CyCraft, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
