madbaz Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hello everyone, Please be gentle with me as it is my first post here. This is my first contact with Chief Architect. I use metric in all designs so I have changed default imperial to metric at the very beginning, Unfortunately I cant get it to work properly. Having it set on "cm", first 5 meter wall i have placed on grid shows 5 000 000 units. This is like four zeros too many for my liking. I can still work on it but it is not comfortable reading values 2-3 times to make sure it is what I want it to be. Is there any way to change resolution of displayed dimensions?

justmejerry Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 You can set up dimensions to your liking in the defaults for unit of measure and number of decimal places.Just double click the dimension button and it will take you to the default dbx. You should start with a metric template for your plan as well. Profile M is the default metric template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbaz Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 That is exactly what i have done. I dont use templates, i start from scratch and i used the setting you mentioned. It did change to metric but no matter if I choose mm, cm, or m I have 1 million units displayed for one meter. How can I change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbaz Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 yup, been there, done that. There is few templates there and I assumed those ones with "M" at the end are metric. I used few different ones and the result is still the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 All you need to do is adjust decimal places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbaz Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I thought so too but if you have a closer look at the picture i've attached in previous post, you will notice there is no decimals displayed. At that time I had 0 decimals set. I would greatly appreciate any other ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
