[TheForge] RE: Layout tools

[Ralph Sproul]

Hi Chuck, I like the proportioning thing, as I use an opaque projector to
fit a lot of my sketches to full size.  Having something you can overlay a
digital picture on, then add or delete items to the pad, then shoot to full
scale sounds like an extremely handy tool.

Being the size of a standard piece of paper works for the projector as well.
