Would it possible to convert the millimetres into metres and remove the last two decimal ?
and also have the text in mult row text? I am currently doing it manually.
Thank you

Anything is possible if you know a little GDL.
This is a very old object and does not use the project preferences for units of measurement, but it could be made to do so.
This one is just millimeters or meters.
It simply converts the measured value and converts it to a text string.
You can alter the string for meters to show only one decimal place, in the 2D script....
IT also simply places the text with the TEXT2 command.
This will simply give you a single line of text.
That would need to be changed to use the PARAGRAPH and RICHTEXT2 commands that would allow for a specific width of text.
Then you could add a hotspot to control that width, creating new lines.
But this would also interfere with the text above and below, so their position would have to be adjusted to allow for the extra lines of text.
Or if you always want two lines for the room size, you could add extra TEXT2 commands to output the height and width on separate lines.
You would still have to adjust the position of the text above and below.
I am just sharing the object as it is, and I am happy for you to edit it or have someone else edit it.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to alter the object for specific needs.
If you reduce the decimal points, you may not need to add the second line anyway.

Still looking?
