David4 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I would like inches instead of pixels. I think in inches. Would be much easer for me, in my workflow. If there is already a way to change pixels to inches, in the dialogue box, please point me to it. Cheers. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteriesInc Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi David, Can't you just set the document units at the time of creation or later in File - Document setup, or doesn't that work?

Oval Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Answering with a question … yes he can, but that does not help him, BatteriesIn No way to change the export units. We all hope to get improved export in future. :wub: (What works: Rescale the document/artboard. You can overwrite the units (with “in”) in the fields of “Dimensions” if needed. Then export and undo the rescaling.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 attempting to attach a screen capture and can't. Something has changed, I assume, for attachments. Cheers, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 When I say I think in inches, what this really means, my dimensions are thought in inches, not pixels. BatteriesInc, I see your screen captures. Thank you. Kind Regards, Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oval Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 David, inches in “Export…” seems to be far away: Nothing in the feature roadmap, perhaps possible with the Macros (Persona) in the common feature requests. So please try it: Rescale the document/artboard. You can overwrite the units (with “in”) in the fields of “Dimensions” if needed. Then export (and if needed undo the rescaling). Wouldn't it be more efficient to use snapshots rather than undo/redo? Undo is just one keyboard shortcut, the “Snapshots” feature not.
