Here is how to do it in SignBlazer in about 5 minutes.

Create a rectangle.

Size it to how big you want your large hash mark (Inch)

Set your horizontal duplicate to .25" (Space between hash marks)

Select your hash mark

Ctrl + D duplicates your has mark (do this 3 times)

Select each hash mark to resize for 1/4" and 1/2"

Adjust acordingly below

Put your text over the first hash mark (Inch)

Set your Horizontal duplicate to 1"

Select everything

Ctrl + D as many times as you want it inches long.

Edit the text over each Inch mark

You will need Roxio or some disk burning software to burn the .iso file to a disk. Install SignBlazer then the update and patch in the second file.

You can do the same thing in Flexi that jay2703 was suggesting. Once you have the first inch set up you can go to the "Arrange" pull down menu then at the bottom is "Step and Repeat".  Use Step and Repeat to duplicate the inch symbols as many times as you need.

Thanks for the info on how to do it in Flexi. I just like to show people how to use different tools that are available. Sometimes the methods lend themselves to doing other things. It's better to learn how to do it than to get someone else to do it for you all of the time.
