Different units in page setup

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 16:23:26 GMT

Hello,

I am working with meter and centimeters... and set it all in the Working Units tab.

However, in my Page Setup window the units are set to Inches.

How do i change it to cm or mm ?! I couldn't find it !

Help me it is really hard working like that

• On the Navigator with Project Map selected
• right click on the icon
• Preferences
• select working units
• Change the ones for Layouts

-----
Alternative on Mac go:
• Archicad Menu -> Project Preferences -> Working Units
-----
On Windows if I guess right
• Edit -> Preferences
-----
It is easier to answer questions when we know the Operating System and Archicad version you are using. Please add them to your signature.

That one is controlled by Mac OS settings not by archicad. You will need to go to "System Preferences" and change it there.
