reversed dimensions

[Anonymous]

I have installed my program on a windows 8 computer and all the dimn. are reversed as I work as well as when printing all previous drawings. I have read the posts on this subject and have reviewed the language settings and find all of them are US English..HELP please

What do you mean by reversed?
It is upside down?
Or is it from right-to left?

Can you post a screenshot?

Example is instead of 15'6" it reads "6'15'

I think this is probably a system setting. If I am not mistaken Arabic writing is from right to left instead of left to right. Try to experiment with settings in the Region and Language Control Panel of Windows.

Thanks but I have reviewed all my language settings as I saw previous postings regarding this problem. All settings are in US English as are all numerical settings. all regional settings are as well. I have reviewed these settings thru the control panel. are there other locations I can look? are there any settings within Archicad that may have been affected during installation that I can reset. And will this correct the plotting thru Plotmaker as well?

Plotmaker?
What version of Archicad are you using?

I can't imaging publishing your layouts (Plotmaker or not) would make any difference.
Can you show a screen shot of your numeric settings in Windows?
There must be something there.
I am not aware of any settings in Archicad other than feet & inches or decimal feet.

Seems you mostly have the same settings as me but of course my 'Measurement system' is 'Metric' and 'Use native digits' I have set to 'Never'.
But I changed my settings and it made no difference - feet & inch dims were fine.

But I see you are indeed using Archicad 7.0 with Plotmaker.
Version 7 was never designed to run on Windows 8 Operating System so that could well be your problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if you have a number of other issues as well.

In fact I am surprised you have it running at all.

If you have ARCHICAD 7 you would be best off installing Windows XP. That would be compatible with it (but you would have other problems since Win XP is no longer supported either).
Windows 8 was released about 10 years after ARCHICAD 7. There is no telling what kind of problems are in store for you.
