On a roll here tonight:
Rhino is in a state where the WHAT command is disconnected from the file settings such that it displays measurements in feet-inches, regardless of what I put in the project settings.
Restarting Rhino and Rebooting did not fix the problem.
Properties>Details displays according to the project settings and gives a different result than WHAT does.
How can I get out of that one?
What option is Distance Display set for? In the file you recently upload it is set for Feet & Inches:
Document Properties > Units > Model
Right now “it” is set to decimal. I can set it to fractional with no change. However, it happens with all files.
Properties>Details:
WHAT:
Hello - - that does look buggy - as far as I know those should put up the exact same dialog. I’ll check, thanks.
-Pascal
This has been puzzling to me. Here is the settings (fractional):
The WHAT command does (feet/inches):
Details does (decimal):
So they both appear disconnected from the settings. Could this be something in the RHINO configuration that has gotten screwed up? Apparently, I am the only one seeing this.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one?
It is really annoying.
There must be some way to reset this.
Hello - you’re not the only one seeing it - I can confirm they do not match, I’ll get it on the bug pile, thanks.
Well, not quite - the resolution in What does seem to correspond, so far, to file settings.
-Pascal
My thought has been that a configuration file has been corrupted somehow.
Any how that that will get fixed soon?
It is a major PITA not to be able to get the dimension of a line.
Hello- Length ought to help here.
-Pascal
Except that Length does not give Fractional dimensions or, if it does, it has the same problem.
Hm - Length follows the file settings here -
e.g: Length = 8’10-1/4"
-Pascal
Hello- that does not happen here - shot in the dark… do you by chance have testNumberFormat set to ‘accurate’? I think not, you’d gen even more zeros, but just in case.
-Pascal
Set to PRETTY
@BrianJ - does this seem like a ‘reset pList’ sort of thing? So far I cannot repeat in the latest, I’ll try 7.10/11
-Pascal
Any ideas at this point?
