Rectangle and shape feature only has pixels as measurement even though Inches is selected in Preferences.
I've updated to the latest Illustrator and old versions and new versions have this same issue. When creating a rectangle or shape, it only allows pixels instead of inches even though my preferences for units is selected for INCHES. This is absolutely annoying as I can 't even put in a size for printing like a business card or letter because it only wants pixels for measurements. I've been an Illustrator user for over 30 years and this bug is huge that apparently is not being addressed in previous releases.

Sonserae, the 'General' unit we can set in Preferences is a global unit we can use to redefine all current opened documents. But then a unit can be redefined for a single document, using File > Document Setup dialog — and it has a higher priority over the one set in Preferences. One can also change local units by right-clicking a ruler (if these are enabled) and choosing it from the dropdown — it’s the same value as in Document Setup.
Please check this and comment back.
