I don't think you can.

Yes you can. In XP goto Control Panel/Regional and Language/Regional Options and get rid of comma there.

On the mac you used to be able to change the system prefs ( international) but last time I tried this didnt work.

Try This it works 1 525 instead of 1,525 etc. Hopefully it will be fixed in Lepoard discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=714859&tstart=0 but if you stufff it up call apple support not me

I followed the link to the thread at discussions.apple.com.

Very interesting info & a 'work-around' fix for the problem (I'm sure all archiCAD users will be very familiar with 'work-arounds'

The fix does replace the comma with a space in dimensions, but unfortunately, I've found that it also puts a space in place of a decimal point, so that decimalised input fields etc. read strangely eg. 100.00 would show in the input field as 100 00

When will Apple fix this...? (cos it's an OS X issue, not an ArchiCAD one) ...who knows...

Excel can show whatever format you want it to show, whatever your System Settings are. Shouldn't ArchiCAD do this too, in Project Preferences?

If you happen to be working on a metric project and an US project, the current 'solution' is switch the system settings every time you switch file. That doesn't seem right.

You delete the comma in "digit grouping symbol" and replace with a space. Then change "digit grouping" to the option without the space.
