Allegro Measurement display Unit. Inch or mm?

xiaoyi594

Hi !

When I use Measurement function in Allegro, how could I see the measured length in both mm and inch simultaneously, in one same infomation window? Thanks!

generally , it can just indicate the Measurement result in one unit, either inch or mm. like following picture.

  • Yes it is Possible. If your pcb design units are in mils then you just need to enable MM as the additional option or vice versa depending on your designs units. How to: Click on Setup then User Preferences. In the search dialog box enter Measure and search for it. This should return a result of "showmeasure_allunits" in the value box choose the units you want. then click ok. Let us know if that works for you. Scott
  • Hi Scott! Your answer is really helpful. Thank you very much!
