The present invention provides a self-locking-and-measuring, straight-edge apparatus designed to allow one to very accurately draw spaced parallel lines, particulary horizontal ones, the straight-edge being especially designed for ruling computer-printout forms. The apparatus comprises a scaled guide bar that is affixed perpendicularly to a drafting table, or the like, on which a straight-edge assembly is slidably and adjustably mounted, so as to move longitudinally along the scaled guide bar. The straight-edge assembly includes a base plate having a spring-biased latch positioned to selectively engage any one of a plurality of scaled notches formed along the longitudinal edges of the scaled guide bar. A straight edge is adjustably attached to the base plate.
