You can customize the canvas size, scale, and background using the Canvas pane.

Base Units - set the measurement units to be used for rulers and dimension values from: pixels, inches, centimeters and millimeters.
Orientation - Select the orientation mode to be used for the canvas, landscape or portrait.
Scale - create ‘to-scale’ technical
designs using the canvas scale setting.
Rulers and dimension values are scaled by
the factor set in this eld. Changing the
scale units allows you to create designs
measured in feet, miles, meters, kilometers, etc. The actual paper size of the document does not change, only the displayed values and units are adjusted by this setting.
