elevation and dimension unit differ

[Llian]

Hi,
In Project Preferences, there are 2 different things
1. Woking units
2. Dimensions and others

Have you checked both (all of them) ?

Cheers

Check Project Preferences > Dimensions > the 5th button from the left.

Just a tip. If you do not set the inches dispaly to 0 3/4" you could end up seeing nothing for dimensions less than 1".

It depends on your other settings. I was just offering a heads up about it.
This anomaly was already been discussed so I didn’t want to re-state all the conditions where this can happen.
Sorry I can’t remember the topic tile so I could add a link to that thread.
