Inkscape

Changing measuring system to inches/feet

Asked by keith wall

Just downloaded this program, thank you. I would like to see the size of lines/objects being created as I go (as in McDraw of old, "show size"), in inches and feet and not pixels or metrics. How can I set the program to do this?

Many thanks,
Keith

I don't get it. There is no answer anywhere here. Am I missing something?

You can change the default units on a per-document level, by opening the
document properties dialog (menu 'File > Document properties'),
selecting the tab 'Page', and change the default units from 'px' to e.g.
'in' (inch) - this 'Default units' setting is at the top of the 'Page'
tab, right below the sub-header 'General'.

What’s a “powerhouse” fruit or vegetable? According to a new studypublished in a Centers for Disease Control and Protection journal, they’re foods that are “most strongly associated with reduced chronic disease risk.”
They also contain 17 essential nutrients in quantities that constitute 10 percent or more of a person’s ideal daily intake: potassium, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, zinc, and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K3. But the top performer might surprise you.
The veggie you should buy right now is… watercress, which scored a perfect 100 on the authors’ “nutrient density” scale. (Geek out over watercress recipes here.) Also in the top five: Chinese cabbage, chard, beet greens, and—as Popeye already suspected—spinach.
Way down on the list is the leafy green kale, which only scored a 54.80. Don’t worry, kale lovers—that’s pretty good. It and 35 other fruits and vegetables still met the study’s “powerhouse” standards, includingpumpkin, Brussels sprouts, and strawberries.
