Data tag : space tag

[fmaccarone]

Hello, I am looking how to change the data tag space tag to edit the prompt square metres that is appearing as "sq. m.". I would like "m2" instead. Previous versions 

of Vectorworks had "settings" in the object info palette to edit those tags but in 2014 it seems to have disappeared.

you can do this if you want, but it does take a little work. The data Tag id getting the area and using the current document units. If you create a custom area unit, you can tell it to use m2 and it will. 

 

The challenge is that the tag is reporting the area of the space using the document units, which is why i created a custom unit that uses m2.
