I saw this years ago i think on the nation so this is not my idea.
first mark on the paper two points i went out 8"
then the top center point place the ruler at at 3 1/2" 
then at each inch mark on the the ruler i counted zero also mark out on the page.
Draw a line from each inch mark to below center point.
As you can see i now have variable size chart for marking evenly on a bridge saddle nut screw hole etc.
find center on the nut with three strings (example) place it on the template move till desired spacing to fit the nut width!
wala evenly spaced! 

I use aluminum for nut material i cut with hack saw blade fine tune with file then sand with 2000 grit sand paper

The Zero Frets are usually taller than the other frets to help stop fret buzz or you need to have some relief in the trussrod adjustment. Not all Zero Frets are taller.  I've seen some that aren't, but I would recommend the taller ones.

No Problem. I would do some Google searching on anything before doing it the first time so I could get a lot of info.
