Setting up measurement units

uProduce Preferences allow you to set per-user measurement units, which are used to calculate the page size and print attributes of your Dynamic Document. These include items such as cut marks, bleed, margins, and so forth, defined in the Process page Step & Repeat section.

The default measurement units are PostScript Points. You can change this setting at any time to inches, millimeters, centimeters, picas, or ciceros. The changes you make are reflected on-screen with an accuracy of up to three digits after the decimal point. Campaign-level measurement units are set in the Settings page as explained below. You can override this setting during the Process phase, by going to the Process page Step & Repeat section and clicking the Change Units link (see Imposition).

To set up measurement units using uProduce Preferences:

1. In the Settings page, go to the Settings list and select Preferences.

   The User Preferences dialog is displayed:

   

2. Select your preferred measurement units: Points (PostScript), Inches, Millimeters, Centimeters, Picas or Ciceros.

3. Click Save to put your settings into effect.
