Automatically reset the ruler to zero when clicking on a different artboard
Sorry, this feature request should just be as standard.
If I have 5 artboards and I click on artboard 4, I don't know why the ruler doesn't automatically default to zero. Instead I have to double click the corner of the ruler to reset it to that artboard.
Surely working on separate artboards, require separate ruler zero placements.
This should be the default, with an option to set the ruler to zero on the first artboard, in case each artboard is making up one big picture, then it makes sense for all artboards to share one ruler zero setting.
I personally want to click on an artboard and the ruler defaultts to zero on THAT artboard. Then I click on another artboard and that defaults to zero. You could even have rulers for each board.
Please add this. :-)

This behavior can be toggled with Use View > Rulers > Change to Artboard Rulers command

BRILLIANT!
Exactly what I was wanting... is already there.
Thanks Egor.

Illustrator can display rulers in two modes:
— Local rulers, when each artboard uses its own local origin point — the thing you want, page-like
— Global rulers, when artboards are treated as frames and are positioned on the common grid — the one you seemingly have enabled.
Both methods are useful, depending on the task.We can toggle these any time.
Try these methods:
— Right-click instead of double-clicking the origin (the corner intersection of rulers) and choose 'Change to Artboard Rulers'
— Use View > Rulers > Change to Artboard RulersHere’s the Help articles about these modes:
