Setting Out Point

steve.tanner1957 — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 08:03:56 GMT

I have a dynamic block for setting out that works fine in millimetres - I would like these co-ordinates to show in metres (ie .001 * value) - does anyone know how I can achieve this. The 'conversation factor' within the additional formatting is greyed out. I have attached the block here, any help would be appreciated.

Copy the code from the field into a formula and divide by 1000. See the two images below

Many thanks for the reply - Almost there - Whilst I can get this to work - I am unable to add a suffix for the 'E' or 'N' - Can this be achieved ?

Just put them in as normal text immediately after the field.
