Page setup

[Tabian]

Hi Yall, I know this may be a bit of a silly question to ask to say that I have been using Xara for so long now but, every time I start a new document I have to change my units from centimeters to mm. Is there any way I can make them stay as mm by default?

Hi Tabian

It's been a while.

Set up your page however you want, then save it as a template and make the template your default template.

Thank Gary, that should stop me from banging my head against the wall...
Have a nice day

This seems to provide only a partial fix. If I create a group and then drill into the group, the units are back to centimeters. I can change the units in the drilled-down state, but when I exit and return to the next level up, that decision is lost. When I drill down again, it's back to centimeters.

Units should be a user defined program setting. In fact, the Options dialog should be available when no file is open and whatever the settings made in that state should be the defaults for all future documents unless a template has overriding settings. No?

i was able to duplicate what you describe until i changed all cm settings to px

never confuse a local change with a global one - both are useful [as Frank has indicated]
