Description DM 2018-08-19 18:51:15 UTC
Description:
I'm finding in the midst of editing that unit display is randomly changing from cm to in.
So I have the Options set to cm, and drawing shapes are showing (properties) correctly in cms.
Suddenly, whilst working on a document, they can start showing in inches, but the options still says cm, and this is rectified by changing the options to (say) inches and applying and then changing to cms and applying, until it happens again.
So far it's possibly mostly been happening when I've selected several drawing shapes (prob a mixture of text boxes and lines) and duplicated them by ctrl-dragging. Then I've gone into properties for some reason and it's suddenly in inches.
If I can systematically reproduce the problem I'll attach an exhibit. But you may find you can spot the problem from theoretical considerations.
Cheers, David
