measure tool E+13

[Anonymous]

Hi all.

I am using measure tool and give me 5.12E+13.

I do not understand.

Before  It was 5.50.

I did not change units parameters : decimal, 00, and so on.

Maybe you understand something in it ?

Thanks very much for asking.

Nino.

But is not the problem. As you can see.

The solution is it impossible to find ?

Thanks to asking.

That is AutoCAD's way of displaying scientific notation -- the E is for Exponent.  It means 5.12 x 10 to the 13th power, as you can confirm in the long number out in mid-screen in your first screen shot.  If it was 5.5, it's been hugely scaled up somehow, but I couldn't guess what you might have done to cause that.

Hi Kent.

Thanks a  lot for reading my post.

If you want i can send you  Dwg file for more detail.

I don't think it's a bug.

Maybe a miss  understanding from my part ?

But witch ? That is the question.

Best regard

Nino.

The drawing doesn't really tell us anything more than the first image.  It's impossible to say from the drawing how things got so much larger than when something was in the range of 5.5 units long.  You would have to review what you have done in the drawing since then, to try to find where it might have happened.  Do you have custom routines that might be incorrectly written?  Might you have selected some things, picked a grip, and then hit Enter the wrong number of times and ended up in the Scale option, and dragged the cursor far enough from the grip to make that big an increase?
