BIM 360 Time Date Format

BIM 360 Time Date Format

Please make it possible to adjust the date and time format.

Currently you'll see AM/PM, here in Europe we use 24h. Is it possible to change this in a personal setting?

Can we please get some input from Autodesk on this one, as the lack of consistent localisation has been going on far too long.

Not only is it just a pain to have to work out which format you are reading on any given screen, but it is also a project liability in regards to scheduling and deadlines.

 

As some basic examples:

GOOD - document management

BAD - Design Coordination

This is particularly bad as I have readable dates in the 'Updated date' column, but it is incorrect on the timeline. I'm in a region that is Day/Month.

GOOD - Model Coordination

BAD - Uploaded Excel Files

We have Excel files that are correctly formatted to my region, that when uploaded to BIM 360 and viewed, the date format in DATE cells change to US format (Month/Day).

 

BAD - Measurement Units

And while we are on the topic, let's not forget the problem with measurements, that always default to Imperial, and even after setting back to Metric it wants to add three decimal places to millimeters which almost all users will not want.
