thomasbricker Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ok, I have searched for a half an hour. I searched the forums. I CANNOT find where you change units of measurement in Affinity Publisher. Will someone please tell me where this specification option is buried? (and why!!) I want to use inches!

thomasbricker Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Bingo! Thanks. That's where I thought it would be. Its called Document Units rather than Units of Measurement. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex White Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I just spent 15 minutes struggling to find out how to set this, in the end resorted to google and found this thread. From a UX point of view it would probably be worth including _something_ so that a search in help might find this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you can use any tool and right-click the ruler's unit in the upper left corner to switch the document's unit. Alternatively to google you could check the Affinity Help:https://affinity.help/publisher/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/DesignAids/rulers.html?title=Rulers Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex White Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 That is a brilliant tip to right-click the rules unit, it's a shame it is pretty much undiscoverable though. I did try right-clicking the ruler to see if I could set it there, but it wasn't available. Affinity help was my first port of call (it's normally pretty good), but it was useless unless you knew exactly the right keyword to search for or area to look in. Their help is generally pretty good so I look there first, but this is an area where they really could do with better indexing of synonyms to help people find the right help.
