AJLynn Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That's easily fixed: Customize menu > System Units Setup Choose "US Standard" Leave at default "Feet w/Fractional Inches" I'm very glad to see somebody else who sees the Metric setup as a bug.

karolisbilz@yahoo.com Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 oh no i found the problem....it wasn't that.....somehow the linework that i was importing was set to thicknes - 2 and that blobly messed up somehow....as soon as i set it back to 0 ....vuala....i can see again... and may i ask why metric system is bug 2 u? where i live, we use metric system, so when i draw i draw in millimeters so i have to set up everything to millimiteres so i could type in the correct dimensions....

SandmanNinja Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think it's because it's a logical system, with a natural mathematical progression. 1, 10, 100... No, wait - that's a good thing. I think it's because it's so easy to switch from cm to mm - just move the decimal point... No, wait - that's a good thing, too. I think because the American 1:72 is a easy ratio to work with... No, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 What's 1:72? Typesetting points per inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
