      Hi folks.

      This glitch is present for both SU 2013 and SU 2014. SU 8 is OK.

      Try this:

      1 - Select Window Menu --> Model Info --> Units

      2 - In angle unit, my precision is set to 0.0 by default. Try setting it to 0.000. It is still stating 0.0.

      3 - Try setting it to 0. Now you have two checkmarks beside both 0 and 0.0.

      4 - Try 0.00. Now you have two checkmarks beside 0.0 and 0.00.

      5 - Try setting it to 0.000. Now you have two checkmarks beside 0.0 and 0.000.

      6 - Try setting it back to 0.0. Now you have only one checkmark beside 0.0.

      7 - Try setting it at 0.000. everything is now OK.

      In step 2 above, if you choose 0.00 instead of 0.00 you will see 0.00 but you now have two checkmarks, one beside 0.0 and one beside 0.00.

      A bit weird.

      The procedure to reset it to a correct behavior is to first choose 0.0 even if it is already selected then choose whatever precision is required.

      Regards.

        I followed your steps and made screen grabs. I'm not seeing anything unexpected.

          working as per dave here as well...

          do you have any plugins that work with angle precision?

            Hi folks.

            On SU 2014, in supplement to the plugins that come by default with the program, I have these plugins:

            • Engineering Toolbox
            • Pipe Draft
            • Guide Tools
            • SimLab PDF Exporter

            See the following screen grab to see the problem. Notice the two checkmarks.

              I don't have any of those four plugins you listed. Have you tried disabling them and then setting Angular Precision? I wonder if one of them could be the culprit.

                Everything s working fine for me, too. I am not seeing any of the issues you are see in,g Jean.

                Of your four plugins, I have Engineering Toolbox installed

                Cheers, Chuck
