Custom margins in AP not allowed now?


Recommended Posts

I just got a new Mac Studio, and after loading AP (and AD and Publisher), I was excited to give it a try. I've been working with AP for several years, and have pretty much been able to do what I wanted in it. In AP on my old computer, I created several custom documents, and was in the process of creating them on my new computer. 

BUT,,, for some reason I cannot get the documents to KEEP the margins I've typed in. This could be something I've missed in the settings(???), so please bear with me. I want a .25 inch margin all the way around a document. I am allowed to type that in, but when I hit enter, it turns to .3 in. That isn't what I want! It also turns to .3 in. when I try to change the margins after the document has been created. 

I hope this can be remedied. I'm really liking AP (used PS for college degree), and don't want to "have" to go back to PS and their stupid, greedy subscription.

You have your User Interface configured (by default) to round the measurement to one decimal place for display purposes. Open the application Settings, User Interface section, and increase the number of decimal places.

I seem to recall there being specific forums for each studio. 

They used to have separate Bug forums for each application on each OS, but changed the organization when V2 became available.

Okay, thanks, but WHICH decimal setting do I change? I've attached the image of the decimal settings. I tried changing the inch setting, but that didn't work, nor did the degrees setting.

Currently your 'Inches' setting it at 1 decimal place and therefore is rounded up, to 0.3 - changing this setting for Inches to allow for 2 or more decimals should resolve this for you.

As Garry has mentioned, you may wish to repeat this for other units also :)

I did change them all, thank you! 
Gotta say, this forum is amazing! You all are so patient, friendly, and helpful!
