dimension accuracy and label configuration

in General

Is there a way to configure dimension accuracy and label configuration?, The problem is that the dimensions and grid labels look like this. I need the dimensions rounded to two digits and the labels centered and perhaps a little smaller. I use Bonsai 0.8.1

    Select the camera (orthographic) and Object Information ---> EPset_Drawing ---> Metric Precision

    Thanks for responding, I get what is shown in the image, what I need is to remove the zero on the right, I only need two digits to be displayed

    The correct item to change is DecimalPlaces, not MetricPrecision. You probably want to set the value to 2. Hope that helps.

    Yes, that's it! Sorry, I think that was obvious, I didn't realize.

    Is there anything to do with the grid label?

    Hmmm. A bit vague as this is from memory, but have you installed the necessary font to your system? Unfortunately the annotations are fairly rigid in their design. If you don't fully install the OpenGost font that comes with Bonsai, then other applications will default to a default font, and will look weird. You will find it in the bonsai/bim/data/fonts folder.

    I'll check out what you said, thanks, I'll let you know if I can fix it.

    Just noticed that OpenGost Type B TT.ttf file that is in bonsai/bim/data/fonts folder does not contain correct Scandinavian characters for äÄöÖåÅ. Can this file be replaced with another version of it, looks like OpenGost Type A contains the correct characters (but is not as bold as version B)? Any tips (before I start messing around) how to fool Bonsai to use the other version, is it just by replacing and renaming the original font file in the folder?

    Ok, it was easy to add a font to bonsai/bim/data/fonts folder. I used OpenGostTypeA.ttf font and got my special characters working by changing the Add-ons preferences as below:

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right location, on Ubuntu I think it's ~/.config/blender/4.4/extensions/blender_org/bonsai/wheels/bonsai-0.8.2-py3-none-any.whl_FILES/bonsai/bim/data/fonts, but there's also the file ~/.config/blender/4.4/extensions/blender_org/bonsai/wheels/bonsai-0.8.2-py3-none-any.whl which is like a zip, where I can locate the folder bonsai/bim/data/fonts, which of these locations is the one Bonsai uses?
    In both locations, I only find the OpenGost Type B TT.ttf file. Where can I find other OpenGost fonts, or how can I perform a full installation?
    I hope I've explained myself well. Thank you for your responses.

    I just downloaded OpenGost Type A font from some random font site. I don't know about Ubuntu's file system and font locations.
