Decimal marker query

Hey guys

I don't know why I haven't spotted this before but I can't seem to find how to change the decimal marker to a comma instead of a dot?
I am working to BS8888 which states "The decimal marker should be a bold comma, given a full letter space and placed on the baseline."

I can change this in ACAD, is it possible in GD

Thanks

You change it in WIndows (regional settings). This will also change your settings in many other programs!

Do look out for 'strange effects' - I had to revert back to using to more normal UK settings as using a comma caused some unit conversion software that I use a lot to go haywire (actually started giving out wrong answers).

It would be nice if we could specify the decimal separator independently for Geomagic Design.

Agreed ! :(

I'll try the windows settings and keep a look out for other software issues that may happen.

Thanks David
