Illustrator CS2 Killer Tips

The unit of measurement in Illustrator is determined in the Preferences (Illustrator>Preferences>Units & Display Performance [PC: Edit>Preferences>Units & Display Performance]). This will affect all aspects of the program that use measurements, including the rulers. However, if you need to quickly override the current measurements, just Control-click (PC: Right-click) anywhere on the ruler and choose your new unit of measurement.
