Canvas Size in Millimeters

Hello,

When creating a new file in Dimension, there is an option for Millimeters for Scene Units, but not for Canvas Units. As I'm from an engineering background, I work in mm rather than cm, so artworks that I create in illustrator in mm have to be scaled up 1000% before importing into Dimension.

Can a Millimeter option be added to Canvas Size please? It's only a 10x scaling factor so should be easy to implement.

 

Thanks!

Hi! @Ares Hovhannesyan Is there a way to change the units to inches in the 2024 version? Also, is Dimension going bye bye? New to it and like it 🙂

There is no option to set units in preferences. The only thing is that you can convert cm to mm in values windows.

It not clear with Dn, Stager and Viewer apps future.  No final roadmap for 2025.

this is just the kind of pointless change Adobe loves to make so you should be in with a good chance
