Master Pages do not allow picas as units


Recommended Posts

Just tried to set up master facing pages.  Picas do not appear as a measurement unit.  Document pages permit them.

The margins part of the master page setup allows picas.  The first dialog box does not show them.

Weirdness. If I change the document setup to Picas and then go to the Master Page setup the size is shown in picas but will revert to inches because Picas are not in the drop down menu. Probably an oversight when building this version. I can change the size by specifying Picas or any other acceptable units.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Also we need the ability to switch to picas from the rulers. I realize this beta was probably rushed out and you intended to add these things later but I just thought I would make sure by pointing out that they still need to be added. Thanks!

My rulers will show Picas if the document is set up in Picas or do you mean you want to change the units on the rulers only and leave the rest of the interface in whichever Inches/cm/mm/pixels it was setup in?

Yes, I see they are also missing from right click on the ruler origin. Thanks.
