Provide Fixed Size Cell in working units

The new Fixed Size Cell Setting in the Element Templates of MicroStation 2025 only acceps values in US customary unit "inch".

This function needs to be enhanced so it uses working units or user specified units

    Hi Gerd,

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    Just to clarify:
    Even if your design file uses metric or another unit system, the Fixed Size Cell setting is meant to define how large the cell appears on screen, not in model space. That’s why it uses inches, which are standard for screen measurements.

    This means the value isn't tied to working units like meters or millimeters — it's more about how the cell looks visually on your display, regardless of zoom level or model scale.

    Would this explanation meet your needs, or are you looking for a way to define fixed size using your preferred units (e.g., mm or cm)?

    Regards,

    Marjolaine Cayer
