Hi All,


I am trying desperately to find a way to get figma to display my projects unit of measurement in Milimeters and/or Centimeters as I am trying to develop brochures which only support physical units.


Main issue just getting spacing and font-sizes to be accurate whilst developing without having to leave figma. Is this possible in any way?


Thanks for any help!

Hi @Max_Easton I’m sorry but I don’t think that Figma supports that kind of things, like different measures except pixels…

I suppose because it’s a digital oriented app, not much useful if you have to develop projects different than a website or an app…


There is a way to go around this problem.

You may calculate the required physical size in pixels.


Just multiply your size by 0.283286118980169971671388101983 and you get the pixel size.

there aren’t any half or quarter pixels of course, but this method worked perfectly well for me.
