Does anyone know how to get the default to show ACRES instead of SF.

I have changed everything in the settings tab... but it still shows SF!

any thoughts?

thanks!

From the settings tab in toolspace . . . right click on the drawing name and choose "edit drawing settings"  The settings under these 5 tabs control the default appearance and settings for everything in your drawing.  I am thinking this should probably be the first stop when starting any new drawing.  I sure wish I had found it before I got started.

How are you getting the area? Are you typing "Area" on the command line? Look under the "INQUIRY" tool bar and use the area commands there. On my pooter, that gives acres and square feet.
If the problem persists, I have lisp routines and Cadaver has a recipe.
