windows dims in 32nd" but my prefs set to ⅛"?

[heathldesign]

I had this issue way back with the stair tool where i had set my preferences for dimensions to ⅛" but the stairs were in 1/32" and was told to go into the setting and description dialogue to change it, but that option is gone in AC24. my windows are now dimensioned in 1/32" while my prefs are still set to ⅛" where do i go to change this?

[heathldesign]

already been there. it's set to ⅛"

Which marker are you using? I don't see a way to turn off the feet (') and inch (") indicators as shown in your screen shot with either the Basic Window-Door_Skylight Marker or the W Marker USA 23.

Builder dimension 22. I started this job in ac 22 but it’s been migrated to ac24.

Why not change the window's width to 4'- 8 5/8"?

EDIT: I hope that didn't come across as snarky. Wasn't meant to be.

[heathldesign]

i definitely could, and may if i can't sort this out. but i wold like to know why it's doing this.

[heathldesign]

ok, check this out.

That's Random.
Is there anything in the "Marker Custom Settings"?
Does the "Scale Sensitive Texts" do anything?
Does toggling between Inch/mm correct it?

I'm at a loss on remembering how to "Load Other Window Marker...."
between versions.

[heathldesign]

no, no, and no. has to be a bug. guess i'll have to call tech support. i'll keep you posted

After looking at Builder Dimension 22, i don't think it uses the Dimensioning preferences for rounding. There are 4 Styles in the marker, but these are just for appearance.

For the dimension discrepancies in your last screen shot, try changing your Working Units to 1/64" (or better yet, decimal inches to 3 decimals) to see if the window width is actually 4' - 8 5/8".

Marc:

To look at Builder Dimension 22, just load the AC22 Library (or maybe the AC22 Migration Library in AC24).
