Am I missing something? Why would the Distance command ever return a value with two negatives?
Sometimes I see a zero value returned with a negative as well (not pictured here).
Looks like the dash got placed in the wrong spot - it should be between the 16’ and the 0"…
i.e instead of --16’0" it should be -16’-0"
This is a programming error in composing the display string most likely.
Any chance this could end up a bug to be fixed?
@pascal - can you check?
Yep, thanks, getting there…
@anon - My first test shows the right thing - can you post a file that shows this, as well as the output from the SystemInfo command?
-Pascal
File needs to be cleared of IP first so it’s not posted here, but I can say this happens regularly on other files as well.

can you make a shareable sample file with no proprietary info in it that shows the problem?
distancedoublenegative.3dm (45.8 KB)
3dm file attached.
I can repeat this. It happens only when the delta (X or Y) is an even negative inch value without a fraction. Which reinforces my suspicion that it’s simply a display string programming error.
Thanks y’all, I’ll check it.

Nice one, folks. I (and probably others using feet and inches) appreciate the help.
