Add ability to change dim area units , please
Hi - if you run the command without any geometry selected, you can change the units to what you want to use.
I see this in Area comman but not in DimArea . Am i missing smthng?
Sorry about that. For actual dimensions, you will have to create a dimension style and set up units for that.
I am sorry , but it just dont work for me. Please could you say which option in dimstyle exactly affects dimarea units?
Actually , I asked this question about year or two ago and we realised that it is impossible. Just curios if it was fixed.
Also sad that i cant add script inside dims value linked to object. I could just divide it or add text or make some expression i need.
Hi - that’s what I get for answering without having a computer at hand… Sorry!
FWIW, in the WIP of Rhino 7, you can perform calculations on the values of text fields.
Nice, thank you!
Hi currenty in Rhino8 the DimArea command does not remember the chosen style and must be selected from “Leader” to “Text” each time, would be great if it had memory like other commands
Hi Jonathan - as far as I can see here this setting is remembered in V8 - can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

Hi Jonathan - I don’t know why any of these would affect this but I’d start by disabling all the plug-ins list that do not ship with Rhino, in Options > Plug-ins page, then closing and re-opening Rhino - is there any difference in behavior?
Side note, you might want to update the GPU drivers from the NVidia website.
