hide units - meteric

[RobWhite]

I am aware of generally hiding the metric units on dimension lines and default door & window labels, but I am not sure how hide the units when I specify the height and width of a window under the specify label section of the window or door menu box. Can anyone tell me how to those metric units. See attached

Rob there are some stock User Defined Macro's the should work for you :  %FormattedWidthNearestMM%%FormattedHeightNearestMM%

As far as I know Chief's built in Object Macros like %width% or %height%  include the Unit by default

 

But using %FormattedOpeningWidth% x %FormattedOpeningHeight% in your Own Marco may work for you.... personally I don't use this one as I don't like the fact in Imperial it uses Feet not Inches  ie a 32"x48" window is seen as  28x40 , which is a sure way to get it framed incorrectly I have found so I use the one Chopsaw Suggested.....except 16ths.

Yes, this is true but you can also turn this off.  Just uncheck "Use Default Formatting" on the label panel.
