Awesome, thank you. I was hoping there was something simple that I was just passing over, and oddly enough I didn't see that one in the help files. I had read searching through here that there was a way on the ruler, but I just never saw the px hanging out up there. (I'm going to delete my 'zoom' reference, because this is obviously the quicker way.)

Am I just missing it? I'm not talking about a complex measurement tool or anything. More so as in... Draw a rectangle freehand. What are it's dimensions? Also, I realize that the Transform tool will display the size, but is changing the global/document units the only method of changing the units, can they not be changed independently? I searched and found that I can change the units manually, by inputting 'mm', 'in', etc.., but that also changes the size. Is there no drop down to quickly change the units? I'm hoping someone comes and points out something that will make me feel like a dumba.. for not having seen it, lol. Thanks!

Really appreciate it, sir! And honestly, I'm really glad to see it is something that they are addressing. I'm still kind of settling in and figuring out if this is going to be the program that I grab for first. And I totally get little differences, but if this were actually an intended, planned behavior, I would have been seriously scratching my head about it 🤔 . And thank you for the link.

My short question is basically what is the proper way to select multiple items? I'm newer to Designer, so I'm probably missing some simple principles on how things works. My natural thinking would be to just go and Shift+Click things, but I understand that there can be nuances between programs, and so I am trying to figure this particular nuance. I have looked through the help, but I'm not finding the info... Everything is completely ungrouped. I have triple-checked that, and it is verified in the layers panel as best as I an tell. Simply pressing within the white area defaults to selecting the outer black shape. I'm assuming this is because of the z-order. (...?) Pressing ALT allows me to select any single white section, and Shift+ALT allows me to select 2 sections of white. But, when I go to select a 3rd white space, at the other eye, it defaults to selecting the outer black area again. I can select any white area, individually, with an Alt+Click. I can select any two white areas, in any order, on either eye, in either location, with a Shift+Alt click. But I cannot select a 3rd. I understand that I can simply go to the layers panel and select whatever I want to, which wouldn't be too big of a deal in this particular case. But, it won't always be that simple, so I'd like to get a better grasp on how this works. FWIW, I can open it in Inkscape, and it behaves as I would expect. I realize that that might be totally irrelevant, but I'm only adding it to minimize the possibility that there might be an issue with the file, itself. My thoughts would be either : 1) Is there a preference setting that maybe would force it to select the exposed white area without an ALT press? (I think I am asking if I can turn off Z-Order selecting, *if* I'm even understanding it correctly in the first place.) 2) A sequence or additional key that I am missing to select more than the two objects. Or, 3) Something totally different about Affinity the selection process that I'm just not getting. Does Affinity simply not work/allow for selection in this manner? Appreciate it
