Dimensions reveresed in Archicad

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi, have a problem with the dimensions reveresed in Archicad. ie. should read 6'7" (6 feet 7 inches) but reads "7-'6.
This had occured on Thursday morning.
We have attempted system restore in windows but it failed. I have found on another forum that it might be linked to locale (the example was on a mac).
If this document is viewed on another computer in the office then it appears the correct way. This problem only occurs in Archicad 7 although we have version 10 this problem is not replicated.
Thanks for all your input.
Best wishes, Jason

Jason:

Could it be a system language setting that reads from right to left rather than left to right?

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

It most definitely could be. Switch the support for Arabic and Hebrew off - should work.
