Skin List Label - Showing Material Thickness

[JeffH]

When using the standard Skin list label to show a wall makeup, what controls the the way the dimensions appear?

I was of the belief it was controlled by the 'Dimensions' tab under Project Preferences, but as shown here, that is not the case.

Ideally

0 5/8" GYPSUM BOARD would read as 5/8"

0 1/2" METAL: LIGHT - FRAME would read as 1/2"

Im trying to get some of this corrected as I work on creating our template for AC29 and onward, and this has been one of the reasons we haven't used the skin list label as much as we could.

Thanks!

Operating system used: Windows 29.0.0 (3000) USA

If the setting in the label are set to use Project preferences, then yes it is the dimension preferences.

But is seems to ignore the leading zero settings.

Other wise the units can be chosen in the label object itself.

Then it doesn't show the leading zeros, but you don't seem to have any other controls of the formatting.

That was it.  I had them set to inch, rather than Project Preferences.

Thanks Barry!
