    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    You need to be working in a metric template, then double click the select arrow, (top left tool bar), there you can change the reference grid or snap grid to whatever size in mm or set your defaults to cm's etc etc.......

    You weren't clear about what you needed to do and why. Perhaps you should have attached a plan?

    But on the assumption that you want to stay in imperial units and use the grid as a measuring bar, insert 0.39370078740 in the snap grid box, This is the in to cm conversion. It would also just be easier to do the math.

    Seems pretty clear to me that he wants his reference grid to be 1cm by 1cm....
    Maybe I'm missing something ?
