Why does the datagroup catalog editor show those strange units?
Andreas,
I tried this my end , but I'm seeing proper units while creating a new catalog Item/ Type.
Can you please check by creating a new Destination file ? , since units setting gets enabled when you create a new destination file .
Guess you might be using some existing destination file ...
Thanks,
Sandeep
I do use an exisiting destination file - "NODE_Structural.xml".
The screenshot below shows both the dialogue box for a new item, and the start of the destination file.
Hi Danny... point taken.
I've never been all that involved with the regional datasets much myself, primarily because most of the users I've worked with were here in the US. However, AFAIK there is a concerted effort to bring the metric datasets into ABD in more organized and complete fashion. If you have the opportunity, it might be worthwhile checking out the current Uniclass dataset to see how it fares in comparison.

No problem .....
From what I can tell the latest UK Uniclass Dataset on the Bentley web site is dated the 02 June 2009 (from about 2 and a half years ago). I already have that one .... which sadly is littered with the issues I've mentioned
.......2 and a half years (actually a few more as the previous Datasets were similarly not appropriate) is way too long to be having to fiddle around 'fixing' your Dataset
This information is not something that is obscure. Bentley could easily find this out by having some discussion with the various professional institutions and professional bodies ......
This was one of the main reasons my interest in BA dropped off.
Thanks anyway

Here's that déjà vu feeling again.
And here are my proposals...again.
I support Andreas suggestion.
A big ISO-only button at installation would be fine.

Danny,
I was actually referring to the GB dataset being created for ABD. It's based on the emerging British Standard BS1192, so includes many changes all around.
