Use drag tool to move inner circle and cursor.
Here is a manual.
This is where I obtained the scales.

I played around with a slide rule many years ago (I won't say HOW many years ago! ;) ) when I learned that you can multiply and divide numbers by adding and subtracting logarithms. Slide rules were great tools before calculators, but I never want to have to go back to using one!

Nice job on the scene. :tup:
Yes, I made the slide rule because I think it is interesting how it works. After making it I pondered the capability of the computer I made it on compared to the slide rule itself. It is amazing how much technology can change in a lifetime.
I rated this a 10 because it looks great and works smoothly. :tup:
Thanks. Maybe a little overrated, but I appreciate it.
While checking out the recent slide rule scene, this scene popped up in the list of similar scenes and so I decided to play around with it. While playing with it I discovered a minor issue that I missed back in 2013. That is, if I happened to click on the outer scale, it of course gets selected and then I am unable to drag the inner moveable scale. To prevent that from happening again, it can be fixed with the usual app.gui.playMode = sim.running script.

It's still a 10 even 10 years later!
Fixed. Thanks.
