IWBNI it were possible to define a custom measurement unit. This would simplify the task of optimizing a document for a specific printer or graphic-file resolution.

This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Other to the Measurement Units submenu of the Options menu. This item would display a new dialog box called Measurement Units that could contain the following controls:

-----------------------------------------------
Measurement Units Dialog Box

Custom Measurement Units:  ____ per |list box of pre-defined units {EVPUs, inches, centimeters, points, picas, spaces}|

-----------------------------------------------

For example, when engraving scores that are to be printed on a 600 dpi printer, one could define a custom measurement unit for which there is 600 units per inch.
