RussU Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 In all my years of using VW I've never come across this. I've a file with units set to metres. I want most dimensions to display in metres, but I want a few to be displayed in mm instead. Is there an over-ride for the dimension object? or is the unit "burned in" file-wide?

0 markdd Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Its burned in, but you could add another m to the trailer and you should get what you need? 1 Quote Link to comment
0 RussU Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hmm, I thought as much. I was playing around with Dual dimensions, and kind of got something similar.... but not ideal or slick on the workflow 1 Quote Link to comment
Question
RussU
In all my years of using VW I've never come across this.
I've a file with units set to metres. I want most dimensions to display in metres, but I want a few to be displayed in mm instead.
Is there an over-ride for the dimension object? or is the unit "burned in" file-wide?
