moreauj Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Has anyone found a way to change dimension display between metric and imperial or display dual dimensions? The documentation is clear that the units are set and stored in one format or the other when a plan is created, but hints that the displayed units can be changed. Or printed units would do as well. Most builders here in Canada still want feet-inch plans as do our material suppliers. No one buys a 38x140x3048mm joist, we buy a 12' 2x10. But the building permit office requires metric. I'm using Home Designer PRO 2020, but I downloaded 2023 trial version and it doesn't seem to have any improvements. I saw one suggestion to keep two plans; one in metric, one in imperial, but this is hardly realistic. I can't believe this hasn't been addressed by now, a simple switch in the format dimension code. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 No Home Designer software has this ability, as far as I know. You can display both in Chief Architect Premier, sorry. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreauj Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thank you David, I was afraid of that. The only CAD softwire I've ever encountered that does not have this basic feature. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
