I make a lot of repeat patterns in illustrator used for fabric and wallpaper design so I need to copy a motif in place and then move the duplicated motif across the artboard in exact amounts using inches as my measure so that the pattern repeats seamlessly. Showing me the measurements in points after I have specified inches is a truly horrible bug which makes illustrator unusable for this purpose. There is no excuse for this bug to have been around for so long without being fixed. When will this be fixed so that I don't lose time messing around to trick the software into eventually doing what i need it to?
