Set Ruler Units

Turn Ruler Display Off

you can gain workspace by working with the ruler display off, turning

Set Zero Point for Rulers
Click and drag the icon at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical
rulers (highlighted with a yellow rectangle in the illustration above).
Position the cross-hairs where you would like the zero point for the ruler
to be. In this sample, the zero point has been moved to the upper left
corner of the rectangle.

Set Scale
Choose View, Grid and Ruler Setup or right click on the ruler to open
the Options Window. Click on Edit Scale. With this setting you can set
the scale for the document, i.e., each inch on the page represents 10"
in "world measure." The ruler will show the actual, or "world"
measure. This allows you to work in a scale like 10:1, and yet gives you
1/10 the page size to deal with. Use this for large projects like drafting
home plans, designing billboards, etc.
