Sets up units of measure and precision readout for the length, area, or angle values in a drawing.

The precision readout sets the number of significant figures to appear. It represents the accuracy of the unit readout value. The precision setting does not alter the numbers that you type into a property, it alters only the display of the numbers. Values ending in 5 are rounded up. For example, if the precision readout is .123 and you draw a line that is 2.1056 inches long, then the line value length is rounded up to 2.106 inches.

Length Readout

Sets the unit of measure and precision readout for the length values in a document.

Angle Readout

Sets the unit of measure and precision readout for the angle values in a document.

Area Readout

Sets the unit of measure and precision readout for the area values in a document.

When placed on a drawing, all delivered labels that include units of measure use the plant default formats defined in Options Manager, and so labels do not always display the units of measure selected in the Properties window. To ensure that a label displays the units of measure specified in the Properties window, in Catalog Manager, select the required label, and from the Format list on the SmartText Editor dialog, select the As Entered option.

The software supports round-trip conversion of units without loss of precision. That is, you can convert centimeters to meters and back and retain the originally entered value of centimeters with no round-off loss.

To avoid loss of precision in units when switching between small and large types of a particular unit, increase the precision, that is, increase decimal places, of the larger unit through Format Manager.
