Unit Of Measure Conversion Problem From Windows To Mac

I've started a plan in Windows and I sent it to my colleague.  I have X6 for Windows and she has X6 for Mac.  

When she opens the plan, the measurements are different.

Attached is a version of my plan and a screen capture of what she sees when she open's my plan in Mac.

Anybody knows why the units are converted that way?

 

The measurements seems to be meters presented as '-''.

Example

Windows:  19’-8 ½’’   -  Transleted in meters is should read 5.75 meters

Mac:    5'-28 1/4"  

If 39’’ = 1 meter, then .75 x 39"  = 28 1/4’’

 

Bizarre!

Not on a Mac so not seeing any issue here , looks like you drew it in Inches , so She may need to turn on the Secondary Dimension Format ,so Chief will Show Both or reverse the Primary Format and Secondary Formats  , you might need to check the meter to feet conversion equation in the Preferences too, under Unit Conversions?

Open preferences -> find Unit Conversions. See if the ' or " items allow you to delete them. If they do delete them close and reopen preferences.

 

I think this is a bug  in that a user can add an additional ' and save it.
