Hi!

I seem to remenber that it was somehow possible to persuade Illustrator (10)
to show the rulers per default when you start a new document, but how do I
do it? (I know about Ctrl+R, I want illustrator to show it per default)

cheers, and a merry christmas t you all

You can open the file 'Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai' in Illustrator
and turn the rulers on. Change something in the document (move one of
the items on the page, or something like that) and save the changes.

If you work with RGB documents in Illustrator, do the same thing with
the file called 'Adobe Illustrator Startup_RGB.ai' (you'll find both
in Illustrator's Plug-ins folder).
