If it would be specified in master file, than if you will send somebody a part of your data without this master file, he could not be sure, what units did you used. But you are right - units specification for every scrap is still not very convenient... I can imagine. I have another suggestion. What about setting defult units system simmilar way as file character encoding is set. E.g. at the beginning of every file you will have command, that will set default units valid until end of file. This command will be automatically inserted by xtherion each time you create new .th or .th2 file. You will be able to configure default units in xtherion.ini, so you will not have to take care of units any more. And the data will be still portable, because units used in file will be specified in its header. It will also simplify centerline insertion, because units specification after each centerline command will not be needed any more. Regards, S.
