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...Quote:

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.

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... ?
we cross posted - yes I missed that at first
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!
