Also a very overlooked feature of FH is the default page. Open a new document and change your units,fonts, color list, page sizes, guides, etc. The save the page as a template in the settings folder. Then go preferences/documents and change the default page to the template you just created. Then every time you open a new document everything will be just how you want it.

Beyond the other responses, I'd add that you can also set your own custom keyboard commands to switch units of measurement on the fly. I have created one for points and another for inches, the two standards I most commonly use. That way I don't even have to mouse around to the bottom of the screen - I just quickly toggle back and forth between the two.

Keyboard shortcuts rule.
