Hi Don, et al.: I am happy to report that the most recent nightly build of IDV 4.0 indeed does allow range rings to be displayed in units other than km, as set by the user in the general preferences --> formats & data window. Thanks! --Kevin _____________________________________________ Kevin Tyle, Systems Administrator Dept. of Atmospheric & Environmental Sciences University at Albany Earth Science 235, 1400 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12222 Email: ktyle@xxxxxxxxxx Phone: 518-442-4578 _____________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: idvusers-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:idvusers-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Murray (NOAA Affiliate) Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 5:51 PM To: idvusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
