* Issue #432: global Units preference (mm, cm, in, pt), defaulting to the system region Preferences ▸ Documents and view ▸ Units sets the unit for page sizes (Document Properties, Print), Header & Footer margins, the start of Set Page Boxes and the Measure tool on pages without a viewport scale. On first start it follows the system region: AppleMeasurementUnits on macOS, Region ▸ Measurement system (iMeasure) on Windows, then LC_ALL / LC_MEASUREMENT / LANG; inches for US, LR and MM, millimetres elsewhere. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> * Issue #432: macOS falls back to AppleLocale when the measurement system was never set AppleMeasurementUnits only exists in the global domain once someone changed Measurement system in System Settings, and apps started from the Finder get no LANG, so a German Mac with untouched settings landed on inches. The region of AppleLocale (always present) decides next; AppleMeasurementUnits still wins.

It now uses the preferred unit like the sheet size next to it; each catalog keeps its wording with the size in place of the inch values.

pdfcraft-measure
Layer L4 implements distance, connected-line perimeter and simple polygon area measurements in PDF user space. It uses the public measurement model in ISO 32000-2 §12.9 (measurement properties: viewports, rectilinear measure and number format dictionaries) and the measurement intents of line, polyline and polygon annotations (§12.5.6).
Measurements are ordinary Line, PolyLine or Polygon annotations with a rectilinear Measure dictionary and a normal appearance containing the numeric caption. Their scale is stored with the annotation, so changing a drawing scale does not change earlier measurements. Moving, restyling, replying to and deleting them uses the existing comment workflow.
Scale::calibrate derives a conversion from two points and a known real-world distance. set_scale appends a named rectangular page viewport, preserving existing viewports. scale_at selects the last viewport containing the first measurement vertex. Default measurements account for UserUnit; display-coordinate conversion accounts for crop boxes and page rotation.
The desktop Measure objects panel exposes all three tools, live values and coordinate deltas, 45-degree constraints, vertex cancellation, snapping, calibration and CSV export. Automation provides measure_distance, measure_perimeter, measure_area, measure_info, measure_list, measure_scale, measure_snap and measure_export. Tool coordinates and explicit units-per-point scales use physical display points.
Snapping interprets painted paths and nested Form XObjects, including graphics-state transforms. Cubic paths are flattened to a maximum deviation of 0.2 user units. Raster edges, glyph outlines, clipping and optional-content visibility are not interpreted. Extraction stops at 20,000 segments, 40,000 endpoint and midpoint targets, 16 MiB of decoded content, 4,096 streams, 32 nested forms or 256 nested q; intersection searches use at most 256 nearby segments. Extraction is lenient: a content stream that can't be decoded is skipped and counted, and the rest of the page still snaps. The UI and automation report these limits.
Imported single-unit decimal rectilinear scales support differing X and Y conversion factors when CYX is present. Unit labels are text strings and may be non-ASCII ("m²"). Compound units (such as feet and inches), fraction formats and non-rectilinear scales are not supported: list reports such measurements, and ones with invalid geometry, under unsupported with a reason instead of failing, and leaves their PDF data untouched. A polygon whose last vertex repeats the first is treated as closed. Interoperability with Acrobat-authored measurements is untested. Geospatial and 3D measuring are outside this component.
Synthetic tests cover geometry, calibration, viewport precedence, coordinate transforms, saved annotations and captions, snapping targets, cyclic forms, malformed arguments, permissions, undo, save/reopen, rendering and spreadsheet-safe CSV. No sample PDF or font assets are added.
