How do I change the Report Designer Ruler unit from Inches to centimetres?

问题

A simple (I hope) question, I'm using Visual Studio, I create a new report in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. In layout view the ruler is in inches, I would like to change it to centimetres.

Update 1

Changing the regional settings worked.

Is it not possible to do this without changing the regional settings? I would have hoped this would be a setting within Visual Studio.

回答1:

Try the Windows Regional Settings?

Not sure how to set this in BIDS, but if you open the RDL file in a text editor, e.g. notepad, toward the the bottom of the file you should see:

  <Language>en-GB</Language>
  <rd:ReportUnitType>Cm</rd:ReportUnitType>
  <rd:ReportID>b5fa3be2-c9a8-41b7-bb70-df2e2e9e86ec</rd:ReportID>
</Report>

Change rd:ReportUnitType to

 <rd:ReportUnitType>Inch</rd:ReportUnitType>

Change Regional Settings from English (United States) to English (Australia)

ie through Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Settings.

It's possible, at least in the 9.0 edition. Bring the record properties (Report/report properties) and there you can choose the measures to be in inches or centimeters. That includes the rulers and the measures of the elements of the report if you decide to input them yourself with the properties panel.
