Possible to make default CSS units em rather than px?

Hi:

It's a small annoyance and nothing more, but might it be possible to tell Flare 6 to by default use em units of measure rather than px (pixels)?

As I tweak my layouts, I always need to perform the multi-click dance required to change any measurement I haven't previously configured from px to em. It'd be nice if I could eliminate that little extra step from my workflow by having Flare use em by default unless directed otherwise (which would be almost never…)

Cheers & thanks,
Riley

When you create a new project, Flare pre-populates the stylesheet file with a few styles, specifically the heading tags, paragraph tag, and a few others. If you modify the unit of measure for the body tag, then your entire stylesheet will inherit from that. However, since Flare predefined some tags, you'll have to modify them yourself.

Beyond that, if you're talking about when you're using the Stylesheet Editor and set a font size for a tag or using positioning elements (margins and padding), you want it to automatically select ems, then no, there's no way to force Flare to do that. Not that I'm aware of, anyway.

That's a great tip. Too late for my current project, but one to keep in mind going forward.

Cheers, thanks, & have a GREAT weekend,
