Ignore my previous comment. I can change the change the Measurement units to mm for LO Draw using Tools->Options. But when I try to edit the diagram created with Draw directly from a Writer document where that diagram is inserted, I get inches in the toolbar (e.g. for line thickness). You have to set measurement units per component so this isn't a bug (there is another report already open to move these to libreoffice wide settings which I am working on). Once you paste the diagram in writer, go into tool - options (within writer), go to "general" options under writer tree and you'll see measurements there. Change those to the same that you have in Draw and you'll see everything in MM or CM. Marking as NOTABUG NOTEABUG, but an /_improvement_/. The only way to change inch->mm are in WRITER:General, which is _wrong_. Should be placed in LIBREOFFICE::General, instead inside Writer. For example, I downloaded LO4.1 and was using BASE and found no way to change to mm till I jump in Internet to find the solution because I cant find the option inside BASE (Close base, open writer, change to mm, close writer, open base again) Thanks for understanding. |
