Hi all,
I am encountering some limitations for the units per page on Template Studio. In the template setup area, I understand that the plot area must be in a whole number of millimeters, however Template Studio also requires that scale be a whole number. Due to the conversion factors between millimeters and feet, it's more or less impossible to set a precise units per page. See screenshots below.
Is there a way around this issue? If not, does Bentley intend to fix it? It's my understanding that this could easily be fixed by allowing decimal values for the scale.
Thanks,
Hi mcotreau & others,
@Martyn Collis just confirmed that this issue is 'resolved' with the latest patch last week.
I went through my templates and confirmed that it is resolved IF AND ONLY IF you set up your Depth Area for first page and follow-on pages to match the scale. For example,
In addition, this will only work if you use all of the space available. See example screenshots below.
This can be problematic as it locks you into specific header and footer heights in order to obtain the units per page you desire.

FYI this bug still exists in quick logs even with a perfectly set up template units per page & depth area.

Hey, Bentley! Any chance you can change the units for reports to Imperial units, since that is what we use in the USA, which primarily functions in Imperial units? Metric is great, but the conversion from Imperial can get cumbersome when you are building a complex report.
