Hi,
If you have projects in Rhino 5 that only need minor adjustments, I would recommend to use Rhino 5 for those changes.
example 1. I have a house plan (my house) and need to open it and add in a feature or something every so often, I access it every few months, to stay in V5 is not right as we should be with V7, but I open it in V7 and the dims are microscopic. I recall I need to make the dims 1:1 scale now. so will go through them all and do so. then open into V7 (1:1 scale)
then my current project, massive , currently doing plan 20, many .3dm files each one for generating a plan number, so a lot to alter dims in. I am staying in V5 as its far less work ! everything works as expected when plans open and I dont have time to redo all dims.
I have other projects, but do not intend to destroy and recreate.
I would like to move fwd and access my V5 files and use them in V7. I have files with meshes I need far faster handling of, as V5 cannot cope.
Someone said beware V8 changes again compared to V7, not sure what quite was referred to but I recall thinking that means altering V7 files for dims… maybe I misred that.
Am I right in saying V5 dims if 1:10 need altering in properties to 1:1, so text height 0.01 giving 0.1 in model gets altered to 0.1, and other such figures such as arrow head length etc. Then the V7 dim with same name shows the dim as it appeared in V5. I RECALL THIS AS BEING SO.

Is there a way of altering a dimension property in V5 e.g.for dims style … Inch Decimal Fractional 0.2 inch tall and applying that change to all V5 files in one go featuring that dimension style ?
Else is there a quick way of bringing in the altered style into a V5 file, rather than have to go through editing each data box for that style ?
I see an import button as well as a match button in dimension properties. Do I select the dimension style such as that above, then click import and browse to the file with the now 1:1 style, and import it, and it updates the style to whats required, as that would speed up the process considerably.
What is ‘match’ for ?
