Default Visio 2019 Professional

I migrated from Visio 2002 on an old machine (win 7) to a new machine with Visio 2019 Professional (Win 10 x64).

Line dimensions, in particular, why is it now horrible? I simply want the length of a straight line with arrow ends in inches ONLY with two decimal places.

NONE of the settings (I tried them all) under 'Geometry, Width' allow in inches with two decimal places. It seems like whatever was done for 2019, it is multiple steps backward. If I want more than one or two places I'm out of luck.



Sometimes it displays what I want, but if I stretch the line and/or copy it, the 'ft' will be added randomly. There is something wrong with the program, despite the high cost.

Has anyone else experienced this or have a workaround for it?

-Thanks-

I don't have Professional but in my experience with moving to newer versions of Visio, the shapes in stencils are sometimes changed which gives different behaviour.

If you open an old legacy file which contained a shape that behaved the way you liked, it will probably still behave that way in your new version of Visio. If so, you could then stick that into your new stencil and choose it rather than the new 'improved' version.

It is also possible that the shape gets its accuracy and units from a page or document level setting. The only way to work this out is to look at the shape's shapesheet and figure out what it has been configured to do. If you post a sample document with the new and legacy instances of the shape we can look at the settings to see where the differences lie.
