distante Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I wasn't able to find out how to set the ruler in percent units wich is really a big need for me. When I go to the zoom or ruler I do not see "percent" as an option. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi distante, Welcome to Affinity Forums There's no way to set the document units (which is what you have been changing) to percentages. You can only set guides using percentages (menu View ▸ Guides Manager...).

Alfred Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Guides using percentages of the document width or height makes perfect sense, but what would 'percent' document units be percentages of?

Of the document of course. I am just to Photoshop (That is what I have at work) to me the ruler is an overview of the document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think you misunderstood me. I was really just echoing what @MEB wrote: 2 hours ago, MEB said: There's no way to set the document units (which is what you have been changing) to percentages. If you were to set the document units to percentages, you would still need to use real physical units (or pixels) somewhere.
