One-Click Unit Preset Switching (Print/Web)
As a designer working across both print and web media, I’d like to propose a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency in applications like Illustrator and Photoshop.
A one-click unit preset switcher that allows users to toggle between unit/dpi settings optimized for different use cases.
For example:
Print preset: mm, 300dpi
Web preset: px, 72dpi
This could be a simple toggle in the toolbar or a quick-access dropdown in the settings panel.

Through scripts, we can only change Document Raster Effect Settings > Resolution (DPI). But not units, as Egor said. This is if you try to quickly solve the problem with scripts, since Adobe is unlikely to make you a native set of presets — it will take years.

I wish a script could do it, but alas, Ai doesn’t allow scripts to set document units.
