Hello.
I am currently drawing in meters. I have set everything to units and dimensions to be in meters. Still, in the dimension marker of any door with the width of less than 1 m is in cm. How can I change this?
Thank you.

This is the Dimension option that works here, don't know why it does not work for you. [Screen shot from AC 14, but same setting in AC 17]

Thank you a lot for your help. I finally made it work, too. Although I had checked the Project preferences>Dimensions many times and made sure everything it's in meters, this time I changed the standard from custom to plain meter and set it to have 2 decimals, which made the standard change from meter to custom again and things are as I wished them. Finally.
Thank you.
