Dimension preferences are saved with Views. You may have different Views saved with different Dimension preferences. You may have activate a View and it applied the Dimension preferences stored in it.
Thanks again.

If I alter a Dimension Style without saving the new result (now "custom") and save the file (or send/receive changes?), my altered metric dimensions turn to Imperial ones.

Unfortunately we could not get sufficient info from Aaron to continue the investigation on why the dimensions were changing.

Sorry Katalin I can't add anything more to this that would help identify the cause of the change, I assumed it was just a random bug as I have not had it happen since working on the same file or others.

Have to admit
I'm experiencing an inability to insert fractions in
When editing try to place or edit fractions the number
Initially, as always, I assume this is pilot error, or even a wireless keyboard issue, but I'm afraid not - which means I have a bigger problem! Really hope you can help out. I have taken a screen shot movie clip which I couldn't seem to attach but you can view or download from the link below.

You can reproduce the problem easily.
Select a Dimension style that returns Millimetres.
Adjust the accuracy to full - decimal places set to 1 and Rounding all the way up to .01
The dimension style will now read Custom - which is the Hungarian word for "Incomplete Thought"
Send and Receive Changes.
Dimension strings will have changed to Fractional Feet and Inches. with 1/64 accuracy.
Sending screenshots of that would be a waste of time. The existing dimension styles are not changed, but it seems as long as you are in this Custom mode, the metric millimetre dimensions revert to fractions.
Why do I do this? because even metric values have fractions in sloppily constructed models. What's worse? a fraction in a fractional system, or fractions in a metric world. I know what construction tolerances are,but do not choose to have ArchiCAD round my dimensions for me.
