Hi everyone. In this video,

2
00:00:09,345 --> 00:00:11,585
before we get started making this lovely flyer,

3
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:13,730
we need to adjust our measurements.

4
00:00:13,725 --> 00:00:18,735
By default, often a design comes with a measurement of picas.

5
00:00:18,735 --> 00:00:23,135
It just means that whenever this [inaudible] box on top here,

6
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:26,040
its in millimeters, yours might be set to picas.

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,290
When I make a rectangle,

8
00:00:27,285 --> 00:00:28,755
all the measurements is set to that,

9
00:00:28,755 --> 00:00:31,515
or if you just switching from imperial to metric.

10
00:00:31,515 --> 00:00:33,535
Let's go and change it. On a Mac,

11
00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:35,320
it's under InDesign CC.

12
00:00:35,315 --> 00:00:38,705
Hit down here to preferences and then down two units and increments.

13
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:42,375
If you're on a PC, it's similar, its under Edit,

14
00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:44,430
then preferences is down here,

15
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:46,740
and it will have units and increments.

16
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:48,420
On a Mac CRM,

17
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:53,220
and all you need to do here is we're going to change our horizontal.

18
00:00:53,215 --> 00:00:55,535
It might be on picas,

19
00:00:55,539 --> 00:00:57,609
and we're going to switch it to millimeters.

20
00:00:57,605 --> 00:01:00,335
Or we're going to do this course in inches.

21
00:01:00,335 --> 00:01:04,165
Just because most of the people watching my videos are American based,

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,500
but you can switch it to millimeters.

23
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,920
I'll show you a cool trick while you're working to interchange between the two.

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,530
The other thing we might do here is if you go from millimeters to inches,

25
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:14,870
you might want to change the default dictionary as well.

26
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:16,480
Down here where it says Dictionary,

27
00:01:16,475 --> 00:01:18,805
I'll just make sure you're on the most relevant dictionary.

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,240
I'm on English USA,

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,270
you might have to switch yours to the one just up,

30
00:01:22,265 --> 00:01:26,005
which is UK English or Chinese.

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,580
Whatever your dictionary is, let's click Okay.

32
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:31,500
You can see up here that little box that I showed you earlier is now in inches.

33
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:32,890
When I try and draw a rectangle,

34
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:34,715
it comes up in inches.

35
00:01:34,715 --> 00:01:36,265
Quick, easy, short video.

36
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:40,110
Let's go off and stop making this flyer from scratch.
