Can any body confirm the area and volume functions are mixed up when set to metric scale type. The display in mm results in area in ft, perimeter in mm (OK), and volume in ft^2. I am using the test drive V12
Many thanks

Hello Bruce,

The Area/Perimeter measurements has a unique scale units definition, separated from the drawing itself.

You can choose the scale type inside the Measures/Area/Per. menu, on F8 Scale Type option.

On RC06 it's working fine to me.

HTH,
Miguel

Hi,
Yes I had not selected metric in both Utility>Settings>Scale Type) and the area\perimeter measurements scale type (Utility>Measures>AreaPer>Scale Type)? All is well, Thanks for the help
