Change->Width is in 'mm' rather than 'inches' even ensuring the grid size is in inches

dave_f

Hi,

 

I'm using the light edition version 7.2.

 

I ran a ULP "drill-aid.ulp" on my board, which worked fine.

 

However, when going back to the board to add something, if I use the "Change" icon, go to 'width', all the trace widths are now in 'mm' instead of 'inches'.

I've change the grid back to inches, but it did not fix the problem.

Closing and reopening the program didn't fix it.

Loading a different project also didn't help.

I modified a copy of the ulp, to use 'inch' instead of 'mm', but that also did not fix the problem.

 

 

How can I change the 'width' to go back to using 'inches' ?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave F

    Have a look at HELP > Editor Commands > SET > Interface.PreferredUnit

     

    I suspect if you enter into the command line

    SET Interface.PreferredUnit 0;

    it would come right.

     

    All the best
