Can you adjust the precision of the rulers in Inkscape? I like to have mine set to inches but for a lot of lay out work the default settings are too coarse, the default setting is set at 1/4 inch 0.250". Is there a way to set this to have graduations of at least 1/8 or even 1/16th of an inch with the major hash marks being the way that they are now at every inch, half inch and 1/4 inch? Also is it possible to set the origin point for the x and y axis to be the upper left hand of the document? Where the ruler at this position would be 0,0 and not 11, 0.
Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

Hello there,

as far as I know there is no way of doing exactly the first thing,
but you can set up a grid to any dimension you like at the document's properties panel, Shift+Ctrl+D.

For the origo's position, it is coded as it is, which means you cannot change it by a setting.

Thanks everyone for your time in responding to my post. I was able to create what I wanted by using the Grid. I usually do not like grids because for me I find them distracting so after making some guide lines using the grid for positioning I turned off the grid. I appreciate all the help that you extended.
