Setting ruler units doesn't seem to work

[eselick]

Hi
I've imported a pdf file and the object positions are displayed in centimeters. I need to change the display to pixels.

I go into the Grid and ruler tab which displays centimeters



I then change it to "px" and press apply but everything reverts back to centimeters.



Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you press Apply after you made the change? And I would use 10 subdivisions instead of 8, which works better with Inches.

that does not change the units only the spacing - you need to change units on the units tab first, and then you should find it will work when you change spacing

Yes, I did press Apply and then Okay.

did you leave a space between the number and px ? -I just checked and it may work if you enter 50px [no space]
