Affinity Designer - Not all grid presets visible

[Maxdanger]

I've created a few grid presets and recently I've been unable to select them because they are no longer visible in the drop down preset selection menu. In the screen record you can see that the presets are still there in the presets manager, but they are not available select. Additionally some of the built in presets aren't displayed either. 

 

It looks like only the "Physical" presets are displayed and the "Pixel" presets aren't. That raises another point which is that both my user defined presets should be (and used to be) "Physical" presets but have somehow changed to "Pixel". I created them using exactly the same method as I used in the video to create the test preset, and that's displayed as "Physical".

Hopefully this helps but let me know if you need any more info!

Try deleting the empty one at the top.

Thanks for the suggestion - that's just an empty category that I'm unable to delete:

I will admit that I have never set up a Grid Preset so I am unfamiliar with the whole thing. But having said that it seems that we only have access to Pixel Presets with Documents that have Pixels as the Units of Measurement. And conversely we only have access to Physical Presets when we have cm or inches (etc.) for the Units of measurement.

You can change the Units of Measurement by having the rulers showing and then Control + Click in the upper left of the window, click on the word.

That explains it! Thanks very much for clearing it up for me - guess this isn't a bug in that case!
