Description next_wingman 2008-08-18 03:17:57 UTC 
Generally on architectural drawings "1000" doesn't have a 1000s separator.
One thousand should be "1000", not "1,000"
One milion should be "1000000", not "1,000,000"

But, on Draw, 1000s separaters are put automatically for a demention line.

1. Open Draw
2. Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Draw -> General
- Settings
-- Unit of measurement: Milimeter
- Scale
-- Drawing scale: 1:30
3. From "Lines and Arrows" tool bar, select "Demention Line"
4. Draw a demention line which is longer than 1 meter (1000 milimeters)
5. 1000s separator is automatically put, so it looks "1,000mm"

I think whether 1000s separators are put or not should be optional.

If you right-click a demention line and select "Dementions...", you can 
view "Dementioning" dialog.

Here is my proposal. How about adding "Put 1000s separators" with a checkbox 
under "Show meas. unit"?

See the attached screenshot.
