cm or pixel Ruler on matrix edit
As a Developer
I want a simple ruler in the grey area above where i see my matrix when i'm editing a matrix
So That i can more easily size my matrices correctly and implement the same sizing across matrices
Benefits save time spent developing editing the matrix and then going to the modelmaster/screen where it's implemented and seeing if it fits correctly.
Acceptance Criteria
Something like the attached example (not to scale)

Hi Rune,
we cannot yet confirm a date for build 85's release until we have completed some final testing, but we are hoping to have the release available by March, testing results dependent. I will keep you updated,
Kind regards

And IMAGINE IF .... you could click a button to lock your matrix width to a certain width it would fit inside, and then you could rearrange your columns without it getting those 2px too wide so it doesn't fit on your model master without showing a scrollbar! That would be truly maginificent :-)
Could be marked on the ruler with a read line even!
Priority-wise I'm not sure since this is a "make it easier to work with MooD"-request from and for developers and not something customers are exposed to.Not sure.

@Sören Staun:
About priority: "Mid" to me (and LFV) because it a) would help us deliver a more consistent looking user interface and b) it would save us a significant amount of time when working on said interfaces. Anything can be delivered with an infinite amount of time/resources, but since "infinity" rarely is the budget and delivery period anyone works with, to have some time saving/quality enhancing features such as the one suggested above would be really, really helpful... :)

@kevin: I think if you guys put yourself into the frame of mind where you are designing masters for model masters you may even be able to think up a few more easy extensions to this suggestion. Top of mind:
- Drag'n' dropping columns in the matrix to swap columns instead of swapping them up top
- Set columns to fixed width so they cannot be resized
- Set fixed matrix size so columns can resize within the matrix
- Would tabs like in word make sense? Not sure.

Hi all, I realise this isn't as good as the suggestions above but did you know you can r-click on a column header to set the width?
It's also shown in the tooltip and as of Build 85 it will include the left/right position:
Also there's a 'default column width' setting in the Matrix tab:
And I often use a handy tool called jRuler to help measure things:
