Sue, if you set the Major spacing to 1in or 1cm and you will get 1, 2, ...
If you want to be fancy and your XPA has the capability to define a new unit of measurement (a Sue) where you define 1sue to be 96px or 100px and use 1sue in the Major spacing of Grid and Ruler spacing instead.

Thanks, Acorn. Nope don't have the define a new unit, that I know of.
If I do the 1cm or 1px but I'd like the measure lines in between...

I think if your ruler is major-spaced in px then the subdivision option does not do anything [probably because px is an absolute unit, there is no such defined unit hierarchy as in mm-cm--m]
if I set my major spacing to 1 px then what I se at 100 zoom is:

That's what I was getting. What number would I set to get inbetween numbers....I've tried a bunch of different things and just not getting there.

do you mean you want the inbetween spacings labelled with numeric values ? - I don't think you can do that in xara

Re: rulers - how to change the ruler to be like...
ok I looked at your screenshots again - you maybe mean the raised subdivision markers between the major spacings ?
I don't think you will get these in the case of px as you cannot subdivide a px into another unit
but if you wer say to set your major spacing at 1 cm and your sub divisons at 10 [ie mm] you will see them... ?
Re: rulers - how to change the ruler to be like...
we cross posted - yes I missed that at first
Re: rulers - how to change the ruler to be like...
Yes, was trying to get those little marks in the middle...got it by setting 1in and 10 for subdivision...took a long time to change numbers all around.Thanks for the assistance!
