I did do a search before posting this but can’t find any posts that help. Is there a way to create a grid in anything other than pixels? I know you can change the ruler to other measurements and so create your own guide lines based off it. But the ‘create grid’ docker seems to be stuck in pixels and I can’t find a way to change it. Is there a way to create a grid in cm or mm for example? I’m not techy at all so if there’s a simple solution in a settings option somewhere I can’t find it. Thanks. ---

Hi No, it’s not possible. From my memory on the last dev I’ve made on grids, it’s to get it, it will needs some development to manage unit. I recommend to create a “Feature Request” topic. Grum999 ---

Hi Just to tell I’ve started to work on this case with MR [WIP: Grids with unit management (!2201) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2201) MR is still in WIP (I still have some stuff to finalize) but when finished it should match your need. It will looks like this: ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/c/ac9f3b318d6634f41bf3625b24c5e71f9c9d40c2.png) Grum999 ---

I had made a bug report for this earlier - I think the bug also can be closed when the MR gets merged - [376942 – Grids don't take cm , mm, in as input, and are only pixel based](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376942) ---

Ah I wasn’t aware there was a request in bug tracker. I’ll keep the reference on my side to link my current developments with this bug reference Grum999
