jmwellborn Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Welcome to the Forums @msouthpa😊 right click on the tiny "p" (I think but not at my computer) in the top left corner where the horizontal and vertical rulers join and you can change your measurements.

Sloppy answer on my part in the wee small hours typing on a tiny iPhone screen. Ugh. Should have written “measurement units.” Yes, I vote for furlongs, and perhaps leagues too? h_d 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

Why not hands, fathoms, miles, kilometers, lightyears, parsecs, microns, nanometers, or any of the other missing linear measures?

I am particularly in favor of light years. 😎 R C-R 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

h_d Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Ells... Perches... Rods... Chains...

jmwellborn Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 @h_d Definitely chains. Back in the 1700’s George Washington would have employed chain bearers to help him with his surveyor chores. If it worked for GW it would surely work for us! Ron P. and h_d 2 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.
