Hello,

it gives thou, it is 1/1000 of an inch, but what is with cm? 1mm is only 1/10 of a centimeter. When i have a trackspace of 5.9thou(150um), the measure gap tells me a space of 0mm. How can i Easy-PC tell to show me the right space of 0.015mm? I often need the metric units.

Have you checked the 'precision' on the Units dialog? Perhaps this is still set to zero (as it would normally be when working in whole thou).

I have checked the precision. It has normally the value 0, but when Iīm choose 0.1mm as precision, nothing changed in the maesure gap.

Fred,

If the Units are set to mm, with Precision set to 3, I would expect all coordinates (status bar, properties, measure, etc) to show values with three decimal places.

If this is not the case in your design, perhaps you can email the design file to support and we'll take a closer look for you.
