Are these now made in china since westcott/acme bought them? the description leaves this out and the picture is made too blurry to read.

Westcott 8ths 12-Inch Beveled Transparent Ruler (B-70) is made in China.

Is this ruler a genuine "C-Thru" brand ruler or is it made by Westcott or some other company?

Technically it is both a genuine C-Thru brand ruler and it is made by Westcott.To provide a better, more accurate answer, here's the story (which can be found in its entirety at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Thru_Ruler): "The C-Thru Ruler Company was formed in 1939...by Jennie R. Zachs, a schoolteacher, who saw the need for transparent measuring tools...the company developed a strong reputation for high quality measuring devices... "During the 1990s, the company expanded into the paper crafting and scrapbooking fields...In June 2012, Acme United Corporation bought the ruler, lettering and drafting portions of C-Thru Ruler. The scrap booking part of the business, continues to be managed by the Zachs family under the Little Yellow Bicycle Inc. name."Given this information alone, it would appear that Westcott is unrelated to C-Thru, and that this ruler is manufactured by C-Thru; since 2012, Acme United has been doing the manufacturing by proxy. However, a quick look into Acme United Corporation provides the following information (taken from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_United_Corporation): "Today, Acme United has seven main brands: Westcott, Clauss, PhysiciansCare, Pac-Kit, Camillus, First Aid Only and Cuda."Furthermore, "After Acme United acquired C-Thru Ruler Company in 2012, its products were integrated into the Westcott products family. So, the identity of C- Thru in many cases has become Westcott."And with that, you have your answer. This ruler is both a genuine C-Thru brand ruler AND it is made by Westcott. If what you meant by "genuine C-Thru" is a ruler manufactured by the C-Thru Ruler Company, under the original ownership of the Zachs family, and that is the ruler you desire, you will need to look for one produced prior to June 2012. I would assume that you would have the most luck finding one that is used, or "pre-owned."

Are the lines still between plastic to protect from wear, or now just painted on one side to save cost after moving production to china?

The lines are protected and this is a great ruler. I am an artist and I use it for all of my projects.

Can you use this ruler to do dot to dot pictures?

Yes. It's a ruler. You don't need anything special other than something with a straight edge to connect the dots.
