OpenTunnel Designer Units


As shown in the screenshots below, the OpenTunnel Designer Working Units are set by the chosen Seed files, just like any other .DGN file, when creating a new project or file.

    

Therefore, to modify to a different set of units the best option is to make it when initializing the file, at the Configuration Tab:

  1. Click on the Arrow at the side of the Workspace to activate the Workspace List and
  2. Select the other units' workspace to modify the WorkSpace, the WorkSet, and the Working Units.

If the user is already inside a specific .DGN file, and the units are not right, then it can be edited to the right ones. The user has to go to the File Tab, and proceed with the modifications as highlighted in the images below:

    

  1. Click on the File Tab
  2. Select Settings inside the left blue tab
  3. Select File Settings in the Settings
  4. Click on the Design File Settings option
  5. Select Working Units inside the Design File Settings tab
  6. Select the Custom button or the Master Unit
  7. Click on the Arrow to open the list of options and modify them accordingly
  8. Click OK
  9. Click Save Settings inside the left blue tab
