Staff MattP Posted August 20, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2014 There's no reason why not - dare I ask what you're drawing in picas? (fonts?) Would you need ciceros too? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeeoooooo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've always used picas. They're much handier to use than points. Sorta like using centimeters instead of millimeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeeoooooo Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Points and picas are standard graphics measurements. Why do you skip directly form inches to points? 72 points to the inch is unwieldy. 6 picas in an inch, 12 points in a pica Picas PLEASE!!!

Alexandre Guerreiro Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi, I was wondering, will it be possible using didot point and cicero instead of pica point and pica in Affinity Publisher? It would be the best thing ever for all the French designers & typographers to finally recover our own typographic measures. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Serif's DrawPlus (a vector drawing application) has didots and ciceros as well as points and picas, but PagePlus (DTP software) doesn't. I have no idea why.

Oval Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Until we finally get better rulers, here is a workaround. There is already a ruler for dtp-Cicero, others can be made in seconds. You only need the correct formula for the field “Default Tab Stops”. Just ask if you want to know more about that workaround. Would it be possible to add picas to the rulers?
