Note

Since the version 2.1, the measurement units of the Geometry Data dialog on the Pages main tab, for all fields but the Modules height and gutter, are read from the preferences on the Pages main tab in Fred, and the units for the Modules height and gutter are read from the preferences on the Editions main tab in Fred.

It allows you, for example, to use mm for page dimensions and pt for module height.
