Ruler Fractions w/ Centimeters

Post by Wollitrack »

When zooming in, the ruler fractions are shown the American way, i.e. 1 1/4, 1 5/16, 1 3/8, 1 7/16 etc. This might be the standard on the inch scale but is extremely annoying with centimeters. I would greatly appreciate to use decimal fractions only.

Regards, Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

You need to switch this checkbox off as per my image below - and you will see decimal instead of fractional numbers:

Great, I did not see this. Thanks a million.

Now there are decimal numbers in the same place as the fractions before ... 4 4,25 - 4,5 4,75 5 5,25 5,5 5,75 or even 4 4,06 4,13 4,19 4,25 4,31 4,38 4,44 4,5 4,56 4,63 ... If this was replaced by regular decimal distances (fractions of 1 or 5) it would suit the eye perfectly :wink:

Regards, Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

What values you will see between the 4 and 5 mark will depend on the zoom level you are using for the document!
I am myself using millimeters, so the fractions are not that many even at high zoom levels and keep the decimal digits shown better looking!

Cheers,
Stefan
