Step 3 : Drag & Drop the field from Field Explorer to Crystal Report.(Refer below Image)
Step 4 : Measurement Unit Settings(Optional).
Use the Ruler at left & top of report when place the report field. You can change the Measurement unit from Centimeter to Millimeter or vice versa(Refer below Image)
* US - Inches
* Metric - Centimeter
Change your measurement system as per your requirement and close and re-open the report in Visual Studio.
(To change Measurement Option - Control Panel -> Regional Settings - > Change Date, Time & Number formats)
I always prefer Metric unit(Centimeter). Because we can scale exact dimension and location in millimeter unit.
