Hello,

I have tried searching through help and the forums for this but I have not been able to find it yet.

I am trying to change the measurement in illustrator from pixels to inches, because I am printing cards out an need them to be in specific measurements.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I have tried looking through the preferences as well.

On a Mac, that would be Control-Click a ruler and choose the measurements you want.

I just tried it and it worked for me on a Mac.  I hit Cntrl + R and right clicked on the top left corner. I was able to change to inches.
