Hi Don,
That's a great solution for now! I think my students will be very impressed!
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [idvusers] Can one change units on range rings special display?
Kevin-
In tomorrow's nightly build, the range rings will use the distance unit set in
the general view preferences as the default unit. Unfortunately, attempts to
allow the user to set the units interactively ran into problems with the label
sizing which is a difficult nut to crack. The pieces are all there to do that,
but someone other than me needs to work on the label scaling problem.
Hopefully this stop gap solution will work in most cases.
