One-Click Unit / Resolution 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 / ppi 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.
Here’s a request you can upvote to make it possible: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48951329 -

カラー形式によって文字や線の単位を自動で切り替えてくれる、もしくは予めいくつか設定を保存しているものに切り替えるという機能が欲しいです。
DTPとWebデザイン両方をIllustratorで行う場合、DTPはミリメートル、Webはピクセルと単位が異なるため、その都度環境設定から単位を変更するのが若干手間だと感じています。例えばアートボードのカラー形式によって単位を変更する機能があるととても便利です
（CMYKに設定すればミリメートル、RGBならピクセルになるという風に）
ご検討のほどよろしくお願い致します。
