Standard millimeter units


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've already read about this, but can't find the post.

Can we have standard millimeter units on the rulers? The metric system is a decimal system, and everything we use for mesure use longer graduation for decimal and half ones for middle as in 5, 15, 25…
Usually I sort of don't need to finely read the graduations when placing a guide or an object on a page, but since AD/AP/APub graduations vary depending of zooming option, it's difficult to do. I usually need to do this adding a guide, let it go, select it, to check with the Transformation panel and move it again, or create an objet and use the Transformation panel to give it the desired value.

I suspect that you searched for “millimetre” or “milimeter” instead of “millimeter”, so you didn’t find this:

@Alfred  You got it! I was searching for milimeters.

I guess you didn’t pay attention to the “mill(e)” part of the word! ;)

And with 2 "ll" it's better :S

That's strange how using a keyboard add typos when we can correctly write with a pen… But there's a long time since I didn't checked anymore how to write some words taking a pen and a piece of paper! It seems there's a lot of difference between the way we learnt to write with a pen learning whole words, and the difficulty to spell and hit the keys as an addition of consecutive letters when using a keyboard.

I occasionally make typos, I constantly misspell words.

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