I work in mm and px often. Print layouts use mm and web stuff uses pixels. So, when I create documents in CS4 I tell it the unit type in the "Document Setup" Diaglog. Try to do this: 1) Create a document (a) with mm set. 2) Create a document (b) pixels with px. 3) Draw squares in document a. You'll notice that the width, height and coordinates show you px, not mm. This happened since you have opened a document with pixels (document b) in step 2). The remedy to the problem: open "Document Setup" and just hit OK. Voil�: we have mm. 4) Switch to document b. Draw a square. � Yikes! It's showing mm for width/height/coords. Solve the problem by opening the "Document Setup" *again* and hit ok. Now you got px. This really is world-class application development, Adobe! I'm flabbergasted.
