Hi,

When you are measuring a surface or a volume (in the metric system) the general rule is to add an exponant 2 (surface) or an exponant 3 (volume) to the unit you are using.

In MicroStation (and all related software) when you are measuring a surface the tool displays the value folowed by "sq. meter" (an "cu. meter" for volume)

You have a well hidden configuration variable to change that : MS_MEASURE_AREA_UNIT2

When you set it to 1, the surface are measured in "m2" and the volume in "m3".

It will be better to have "m²" or "m³" instead or to have another value for this variable ("2" for instance) saying you whish exponant.

• MS_MEASURE_AREA_UNIT2 = 1 --> m2, m3

• MS_MEASURE_AREA_UNIT2 = 2 --> m², m³

It will be interresting to unhide this variable.

Many thanks !
