I think I asked this b4 but can you can the measurement spacing on the illustrator rulers? Right now it is by increments of 36. Which sucks for absolute stuff. Can I change it to normal increments of 10? Heck even 20 but 36's suck.

zooming in and out with change the increments. Not sure if you can adjust in the rulers preferences though , but you can try.

btw are you using the rulers for a specific reasons?

:: things like drawing shape to a specific size i just select my tool and Atl left click on my document, to give me a option to input numerical value for the shape.

using it for alignment purposes...because in AI you can have a set of 43.1234 px and stuff.
