Dialog Box: Units does not match

dendroaspis — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 08:46:40 GMT

A problem is annoying me at least since version 2017. Every time I open an architectural scene with xrefs objects (people, furniture, plants) I got the dialog box: Units does not match. (see attachment). The problem is, that I have to click OK at least 10-20 times on exactly the same dialog box. This doesn't make sense at all.

If I remember right, in older Versions we had a checkbox to confirm the message vor all xrefs.

I don't know if the problem is solved in 2018, but it's really annoying, please fix it. Thanks you!

Best regards

Olaf

Hello @dendroaspis and welcome to the community,

I have two suggestions here. The first is to check out a script called Silentium by @spacefrog_, it's great and helps a lot for this. Also, free which is amazing. I use it a lot in my personal projects, especially those with Forest Pack and a bunch of XReffed trees in them with scale mismatches.

The second is to put in a Feature Request if you'd like to see the default behavior changed. This is the best way to get your ideas seen by development and I highly recommend it.

Best Regards,

Hello Alfred,

thanks for the hint with the script. It works pretty well for my problem.

I don't understand why to request a new feature for this. To be forced hitting 20 times the same dialog with the same text, is a bug for me and not a missing feature. But maybe there is a hidden sense behind it.

Regards

Olaf

Hello @dendroaspis,

Those dialog boxes are working, so it can't be considered a defect in this case. I understand your point of view however.

Best Regards,
