Had to create specific for the project units file. Needed dimensions in "mm" and the rest as default in English file. What happens now, the dimension entered in mm, when longer than 304.8 mm, is converted into ft. An example of display in DZ is like this: 6 ft. 230.068 m (?). It doesn't matter if I use as a template English of MM file, result is the same. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

Jerry,

Adjust your compound length. The program's built for US units in a foot-inch format. By changing only the first length item, you now have foot-mm format!
Change the compound length (near the bottom of the right column) to mm, that will give mm-mm units. You'll see this setup in the millimeters file - MM.FIL

Change the "compound length" value also.

Dave, Richard,
Thank you for a quick response. It works, and lowered my tonight's O.T. stress level.
