How to Reset the Ruler in Illustrator
The rulers in Adobe Illustrator can help you determine the dimensions of an object and add the desired spacing to a design. However, if the rulers are not in the correct location, this can cause confusion. By default, the rulers' origin is at the edge of the document, but you can move the origin of the rulers to any location on the document. If you no longer want to use a customized origin for the rulers, you can quickly reset them to the default location.
