Alteration of Unit measurements?

Hi folks,

For some reason my install of Capture has defaulted to imperial measurements, with the metric in brackets afterwards. This means that unless I specify metres for example, it will be assumed that i am entering data in feet & inches. Can you tell me how to change this setting to metric only? (or at least primarily?)

Many thanks,

john

I don't think there's a setting for that yet.
But I'm looking forward on this for the future release.

It's strange though, because installation on other machines reverts to metric by default, so it must choose from something, perhaps an OS setting?

Hi John,

Capture uses the measurement settings in your computer! So if you change the locale settings in the control panel to use metric units, so will Capture. Please note however that you can always use any of the two systems to enter a figure by making sure to end it with the proper unit, such as m dm cm mm ' " etc..

Regards,

ah, good stuff. I had to tell the machine it was in the US to register some silly program, I suspect I just forgot to reset it to UK locale. Thanks Lars :o)
