I will place a string of dimensions (using linear and continue) and sometimes after a plot or a publish – the text will change from, say 10” to 10.0000 or 12’-8” to 152.0000 (usually converting feet to decimal inches, or inches to decimals). I can’t figure out why it does this, nor can I ‘force it to change’. It perhaps has something to do with matching properties, as the ones it ‘usually’ hits are dims that I have modified properties on – changed extension line styles, or visibility, that sort of thing – then applied a MP to similar strings. But again, I can’t make it happen, so I don’t know if that is it.
Anyone else have this issue, or have a solution? It’s irritating, as it happens after the plot or publish, so it occasionally creeps into final package sets.
Thanks!
