Hi JAG1943,

Welcome to the forums :)

Currently there's no way to change your default units in Affinity, you can set all your document presets to use Inches, however if you use File>Open to open an image it will always use Pixels until this is changed - the quickest way is by using the Context Toolbar option with the Move View Tool (hand) active, as Gear maker has mentioned above!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

I think you meant to say the View Tool.
