I am using a Keyboard Maestro macro that clicks on a spot on the screen where a certain VoiceOver-inaccessible control is found. The Keyboard Maestro macro is designed to click at a certain position measure in pixels, or points, as Apple calls it. I was told somewhere in the VO Utility there is a setting for measuring positions on the screen in either points or standard metrics (inches or millimeters). The person who told me this thinks that my system is set to the inches or millimeters setting, not the points/pixels setting, and that's why this particular macro doesn't work.

What is it your trying to do?

Screen resolution is measured in picsals but the screen size is measured in 
inchs.

Screen size is a diagonal measurement for example 13.3 inchs but the res is x 
number of dots per inch.

Tell us what your trying to actually do and we might be able to assist more.

Pixels/points

I thought it was in System Preferences -> Display, but I can't find it there, 
or anywhere. I tried using the search feature in the tool bar, and neither pixels 
nor points turned up anything. Where is this confounded setting?


TIA
