Choosing points or pixels
You can choose to use pixels or points as the units in your document. Using points will change all numeric values to points, and will affect the nudge commands in the canvas. With a pixel density of 2, nudging layers with the arrow keys will move them 1px or, if points are selected, 1pt (2px). The point/pixel unit setting is remembered throughout the app, and is not saved into the document.
Ways to Change Units Between Points and Pixels
- Click the PT or PX button in the toolbar.
- Choose View > Use Points as Units from the menu bar.
