Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I have the primary units set to '_" but all my dimensions are shown as 15.25 in instead of 15 1/4". I am using chief architect interior x10 on a mac. I can't seem to figure out how to show it like this: 1'-15" or 15 1/4". I tried messing with the default settings but nothing seems to change it. And when I try to edit the size of the object, shape. It keeps saying measurement is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 You will need to make your Accuracy setting for Fractions rather than Decimal Places on the Primary Format tab of Dimension Defaults. And set it for 1/4 or 1/8 or maybe 1/16. Not really sure what the 1' - 15" part is about, hope it's a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Chopsaw I have my accuracy setting set to fraction of 1/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That looks correct but are you using NKBA dimensions where the problem is showing up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Chopsaw Ye. I have always used nkba and never had this issue. However I am using the Chief architect interior version. Can that be the reason why its doing that? I always used premier on a windows. Now Im using interiors on a mac. And I dont know how to fix it.

Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If you would like to post a small sample plan file I could take a look or if you are sure of the settings you could still call tech before closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @ChopsawYe here's a quick one I just created. Thanks for the help sample.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Added a couple of dimensions to see how it was working. Is this what it looks like on your machine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Chopsaw No :((( thats how it looks on my screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Any chance you changed any Units in Preferences ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Chopsaw no I didn't touch anything there. I didn't really mess with any settings at all. It just automatically started appearing today. Maybe I pressed some keys to make it look like this, I don't know. I am a windows user. This is my first time using chief on mac, I thought maybe thats how it shows on a mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 If your defaults for the posted plan file look like this then something is messed up for sure. Not sure I have any more ideas if that is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rytikom25 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Chopsaw ye it looks exactly like that. I'll contact Tech see what they say. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yup good idea. Could be a Mac issue,or Interiors bug,or maybe corrupted Units file, but all above my level of expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
