Autotext showing width incorrectly

Anonymous
Not applicable
Having issues with the 'width' function in autotext within an associative label.
All the preferences / dimension display setting set to mm, but the autotext is showing as 0.19 for a 190mm width wall.
Shows the same under both 'width' from general and also from the wall specific autotext.

Any ideas?

Labels usually use the dimension preferences.
But you also have Working Units and Calculation Units in the preferences.
Or maybe the label ahs its own parameter to set the units.

If you still can't find the setting exactly what label is it that you are using?

Just using the standard text based label (see image)
It's got me stumped.

It seems autotext uses the 'Calculation Units' in the preferences.
