Hi.
I’m using Indesign for a looooong time and there is a thing that always bothered me and maybe you know a way to solve it: units. I’m in Brazil, so I need to work in “cm”, and until there, no problem. BUT when I change in preferences to “cm”, Indesign changes everything including paragraph window units, so if I click in the up button to increase “space after”, for instance, it give me 1 by 1 centimetres increments.
Illustrator has different units to “General”, “Stroke” and “Type”, and in there I can keep my centimetres and work with paragraphs using points (what is much better). Is there a way to do the same in Indesign? Okay, I can work in “mm” instead of “cm”, but I think it’s a little weird they not having an option like Illustrator.
I’m pretty sure both softwares are made by Adobe but developers team never use each other product. :) Another good example (off topic) is about re-linking: so smart in Indesign with “relink to folder” and so dumb in Illustrator. :)
Many thanks,
Luiz
