Inkscape

find options to change to Inches from mm

Asked by Robert C. Norgaard

Although I would love to work in metric, I don't have the time right now to "fight with the system". I have seen where Preferences is, but the one item I saw to make that kind of change did not change the job setup window. Not a big, bad problem, but I need to get the set-up corrected before I can move on to the designing.

Hi Robert,

did you notice that there are two options with units in the 'document preferences'?
The one in the middle right from the document size settings is only the unit for setting the document size.

However, at the top of the document preferences dialog, there is a second drop down, where you can choose the default units for the specific document. There you choose your inches and everything should be fine.

Also, in the window, you can always change the unit for the object size display (but this does not affect the rulers and the mouse position indicator).

Can you help with this problem?
