Inkscape

Change general preferences units

Asked by Roberto Quintero

Is it possible to load Inkscape by deafult with mm or cm , not with pixels. I know how to change the document units but I always use mm as default not px, so every time I open Inkscape I need to go to document preferences and change the units.
Thanks

You can work with different template files (e.g. per project), and e.g. create a custom user default template with the settings you currently need for new files:
