Key-in: Working Units>Master Unit: Feet> Label:_____

leave the working units set to feet and tenths and set the accuracy to zero. Where you need to make a change is in the dimensions. Go to Element>DimensioonStyles select the units tab and check the "use working units" option, then set the label format to MU and the accuracy to zero. This shouold give you the readout you want when measuring.

just wanted to follow up on this - did this answer your question ?

Tim,

Actually I did not get the answer I was looking for. I have been looking for key-ins to:

Set the accuracy to zero (vba execute ActiveSettings.CoordinateAccuracy = msdAccuracy0) and was hoping for something along the same line to set the label to be blank. I'm guessing the way I phrased the question was unclear. All I wanted was to have a key-in to have nothing in the LABEL for Master Unit in the Design File Setting. The image shows how microstation measures a selection set of lines (FT & 2 decimal places) and when I change those settings to BLANK & '0', the last image shows what I'm looking for

I am working on Ver 08.11.09.459; The Units are being set in the pcf

Thank you for your help!

forgive me for being curious but if your just using the measure tool why do you care or even want the units not displayed ?

I have to pile on and ask here as well - why can't you just mentally round up or round down if you're just using the Measure tool? Or is this a case of mixing up the terminology between measuring and dimensioning? I see the Measure tool open in the screenshot, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why the display of measured units matters if you're not going to be applying them as a dimension.

@Dbl J D - what are you setting in the PCF that would effect this ? I don't follow. Also - why the need for a key-in ? Did you try the settings I mentioned ?

I missed this part too. Why are you editing your pcf?

WOW
Nice responses. Let me start with Lorys-I am measuring lengths on a per sheet basis and once I get the length I’ll create a graphic group along the copied total from the measure tool to verify that those lines that have already been measured and believe me there a lot of them. David Fradley-I need actual numbers to verify. Tim Hickman-I’m NOT touching the pcf and the question was asked about the units.def. Since there is a key-in for setting the accuracy I just thought there would be one for the label as well.
