Rulers and measurement units

Change rulers and measurement units

You can change measurement units for the on-screen rulers and for use in panels and dialog boxes; you can also change

these settings at any time and temporarily override the current measurement units as you enter a value. By default,

rulers begin measuring from the upper-left corner of a page or spread. You can change this by moving the zero point.

(See “Change the zero point” on page 50.)

Changing the measurement units doesn’t move guides, grids, and objects, so when ruler tick marks change, they might

not line up with objects aligned to the old tick marks.

You can set up different measurement systems for horizontal and vertical rulers. The system you select for the

horizontal ruler governs tabs, margins, indents, and other measurements. Each spread has its own vertical ruler;

however, all vertical rulers use the same settings you specify in the Units & Increments preferences dialog box.

The default units of measure for the rulers are picas (a pica equals 12 points). However, you can change custom ruler

units and control where the major tick marks appear on a ruler. For example, if you change the custom ruler units for

the vertical ruler to 12 points, a major ruler increment appears every 12 points (if such display is possible in the current

magnification). The tick mark labels include your customized major tick marks, so when the ruler reads 3 in the same

example, it marks the third instance of the 12-point increment, or 36 points.

Setting custom ruler increments in the vertical ruler is useful for lining up a ruler’s major tick marks with a baseline

grid.
