I created these templates to aid in the alignment of Hours and/or Minute/Seconds. I keep the template as a separate (bottom) layer.

This can be achieved using the masking tool, however, if there is a better solution and it is feasible, I can implement it in the future.

Hey there everyone!

I’ve been polishing some details and I’m working to release the first version of this tool next week. It’s a first attempt that I hope to improve with your feedback.

Thanks all.

Useful I’m sure. I had to re-align some watch hands and drew temporary one pixel tall or one pixel high cross hairs. Think I’ll download this just in case.

Certainly going to try it out when you post it. I’ve got a very satisfying tool I finally ran across to compare it to.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well

I finally released the tool.

I put a small website where you can access it and download it

On the site you’ll find two tutorials, one for installation and another covering the basics to get started:
Tutorials

I also included the project itself in case anyone wants to contribute or take a look at how it’s built:
Open Source Tools

It’s still under development, so I’d really appreciate it if you let me know about any bugs, ideas, or features you’d like to see.

Thanks a lot for all the help up to this point. I hope you like it and find it useful!

You build it with modules or you program it.

It is certainly better than what I used to use, which was a tool for making clock faces for use in schools.

I’m trying to figure out how to get 1-12 with all the text straight up.
