Please ALWAYS state which OS and ArchiCAD you are on!!!

THis might be a case of just switching off the system support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew ...) Try that and see.

HTH,

Thankyou very much for responding, I have been working in Archicad 6.5 for the last 3 years, OS Windows 98, the system has been working fine in my office, but I'm working overseas at the moment for a couple of days and installed the Archicad 6.5 in a friends laptop (windows XP) to make some changes in the project I'm working now, and found this problem and I can't work on my project because I can't give my clients any plotted drawing with the changes!!

In your response, you mentioned something about changing the language, where do you change it? In windows itself?

Once again, thank you very much responding and waiting for your resronse once again,
Mario.

Thanks again, i changed the confuration and deleted the intalled rabica and hebrew settings and displays the dimensions right, but now I encountered that the dimensions are displayed with 5 more feet each dimension, for example, if my walls are 10 feet high, when I put a dimension in the section window it displays a 15 feet wall (it seems that only in the section window has the problem).

Thanks again for your help!!

Language Support is a keyboard Control Panel item. Go to the control panel under the Windows Start Menu. Find the Keyboard icon and make the change there.

Thanks for your reply....

All drawings have previously drawn dimensions displaying backwards. I tried to go into the keyboard settings, but did not see anything that needed to be changed.
