100,000 to 1000000

Hi,

Is it possible to change the way Archicad shows dimensions, in terms of not showing any commas ??

The local building department likes to see centimeters 1000 and not 1,000.

Even after I change the Regional and Language Options settings in WinXP Home to what I want, still no change in Archicad.

TIA

Naftali

It is possible just in the Regional Options, but you need close and launch ArchiCAD again after you done some changes there. And then go to ArchiCAD dimension preferences, change it to the meter and again to centimenets and press OK. It will change placed dimensions to the new format. Did you it.
I am on Win2k but I think it will work on XP same way.
