Switch units, mils to mm, inaccuracies.

GP studio

Hi, some days ago I have received a mail with the message that you find in the attached image.

Unfortunately changing from mils to mm, creates annoying errors in the DRC. This can happen, in to modify a board, that require symbols placed in mm.

I think that Cadence can resolve the thing, and to do better also ! Please Cadence correct the thing, so that the competitors must keep silent !

I have forwarded this request also to the Cadence Local Partner.

    Please let me know if this workaround are possible, for easy switch units, at any time ! Starting a new pcb design with SETTING a SPECIFIC BASIC UNIT, with 2-4 decimal places of accuracy, for example: MILS with 2 deicmal places of accuracy. Then when i switch in MILLIMETERS, the system NOT switch really in mm, but CONVERT only the same BASIC UNIT. In this mode the system use a SPECIFIC unit SELECTED from user, BUT NO PROBLEM to switch the values on other unit, because the converted values, are made from the same BASIC value. Please Cadence FIX IT ! Any reply are welcome. Best regards Gianni.
