Hi all,

I have inherited a project which has been butchered by the previous people who worked on it, so forgive me if im not super helpful with how it has been set up.

My problem is relating to area tags, and the way that they round up the figures.

My project units are set at rounding = 0

The area tag is also set to rounding = 0

If i change 1 or both of these to display as Rounding = 2 decimal places, the actual area figure shown on my area plans does not change.

Am i doing something wrong, or  is my area tag family just really really bad?

Any help or advice is much appreciated,

Kristian

In the tag family, select the area label and click on edit label. In the dialog box (see pic), if you check ‘use project settings’, the label will do exactly that. Or, you can uncheck it, enter your values and they will take precedence in the project.
