Element Info palette

Anonymous

Hi all

Info palette about elements (AC15) show all parameters in milimeters with four decimal numbers.

Where can I set at least area and volume to meters? (m2, m3)

In project preferences I have units (length, area and volume) set to meters.

You must set "Calculation Units & Rules" too:

I don't think, this is the case, because I have set this there.

It looks like it is controlled by the Working Units setting.

Thanks, it helps partially.

In previous version (AC14) I used Element Info Palette thinking its units are set default. I looked to Working Units settings (AC14) and noticed that it doesn't matter what it's set there, the info units are still the same.

But in AC15 units in Element Info Palette depend of what is set in Working Units, but it seems decimal numbers don't respond.

I'm little confused of this. Not that it was very significant for me but want to be clear of this.
