Use inches or millimetres

Switching units changes the display of rulers and applicable length and speed fields. It preserves the artwork’s physical size. For example, 254 mm displays as 10 in. Check fixed-unit labels in tutorials and import reports separately.

Use Space+drag to pan, Ctrl+0 to fit the page or Ctrl+Shift+A to fit the selection. See Keyboard shortcuts.
