Is there a way to use larger grid sizes without changing the ruler measurements?

Apologies if this has been asked. Didn't see it when I searched. Essentially my issue is that I am using some pretty detailed tokens that often lose fidelity when shrunk to fit a single unit on the grid. I've tried adjusting the settings so the squares are 2 units which makes the tokens look better but is problematic in that my ruler now measures in increments&nbsp;of 10 ft which doesn't work for the 5E games I'm running. Is there any way to increase the unit size so I can get a better look at my assets while scaling the ruler to fit so everything is still measured in 5ft squares? If not, are there any other ways I could solve this problem? Should I just select and use ALT to resize everything manually? Here's a screenshot to help explain if my descriptions weren't clear. Any help would be appreciated. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DQSBsNR0aVWO_Wu3F0RxQSq2VPCcsXZa/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DQSBsNR0aVWO_Wu3F0RxQSq2VPCcsXZa/view?usp=sharing</a>

It does not appear that you are fully zoomed in. You can get quite close without mucking about with the grid: Nevertheless, if that won't solve the problem, let me know and we&nbsp; can &nbsp;muck about with the grid. I just think that you won't be pleased with having to do that with every map you create. You will also run into problems with nice looking tokens, but the hassle of having to zoom in and out when switching from a melee attack to a ranged one. Finally, you are aware that you can see a full-resolution view of any token by selecting it and pressing the Z-Key (shift-Z to show it to everybody)? Just in case the issue is not one of viewing during play, but making it clear to players what they are facing.

Gnoll, When you change your grid size to 2 units, change your scale to 1 unit = 2.5 ft. It is all about ratio so you cut your scale while increasing your size.
Thanks for both replies. Unit ratio was what I needed but useful information all around. Wasn't aware of that Z command feature.&nbsp; Appreciate the quick responses, Cheers!
