Can you show two Measurement types in a Space Label??

[VW-PAD-Bristol-2014]

I am looking to show the Hectares and Acres of a site using the space tool.

So far all I can get it to show the units of the document.

Is there a way I can put in a calculation to the label to allow it to show both?

Many thanks

I had thought this was possible with Dual Dimensions (Controlled in the Units dialog under File > Document Settings) but that only applies to linear dims, not areas.

I will check if there is a way around it, if not I will submit a request.

It IS possible to include this data manually by customizing the space label symbol and adding the secondary unit, but it wouldn't be automatic then, not much more useful than just adding a text object ontop of the Space.

You can use the Formula field in the Additional Data tab to multiply the area by the required modifier i.e. =#Gross Area#*.0.40468564 to show hectares if your units are acres or the inverse.

Thank you Tim,

That is a great help.

Jim would it be possible to add this to the wish list as I think it would a good feature if it was a simple drop down.

Many Thanks
