You can access ruler settings directly by double-clicking a ruler.

You can specify nudge settings by typing values in the Nudge, Super nudge, and Micro nudge boxes in the Nudge area.

Calibrating the rulers

You can have one inch on your screen equal one inch of “real” distance. This lets you work using real-world distances as opposed to relative distances that depend on screen resolution. This tool is particularly useful when working with signs, or when drawing in 1:1 zoom mode.

Before you can perform this procedure, you must have a clear plastic ruler for comparing real-world and on-screen distances. This ruler should use the same unit of measurement you set for the CorelDRAW rulers. For information about ruler settings, see “Using the rulers” on page 198.
