Dimensions number format and accuracy changed suddenly

Post by nigelc » Fri Aug 14, 2020 12:00 pm

Hi

I'm relatively new to QCAD, having used it for just a couple of weeks.

I've been working on some drawings for a house extension and while working on one drawing this morning I went to add a dimension and noticed the number format had changed and the accuracy seems all messed up.

Taking one example of a window which was previously dimensioned at 1300 which is correct, if I now add a dimension to the exact same points it's showing me 1467268.623.

This has happened on 2 drawings now and once it's messed up in this way there doesn't seem to be a way out of it. Even reverting the drawing doesn't do the trick. So I'm stuck now and can't move forward until I resolve this issue.
I've tried closing and re opening the drawing, re starting the Mac etc all to no avail.

I'm using QCAD Pro version 3.24.3.0
OS is Mac OS 10.15.6

Screenshot and one of the offending files is attached

Help please!
