Me too (two). And I also prefer the point size.

It's probably an option somewhere, I just haven't scoured for it yet.

I've never used the properties docker to change point size. I just double-click the line color in the bottom right of the screen, and change thickness from there.

I'll take a look at the OP docker to see if I have the same issue.

Mike,

I also lose a toolbar on occasion.

Sometimes I think that the end users are the true beta-testers.

Naw, all of the time. (devil)

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

If you click the Advanced button you can select between Inch, Points, millimeter, etc...

I prefer inches and I think I had to go there with nothing selected and change that to change the default.

I think you're right... my issue was that even after I did that (on a fresh start, new document) it still said inches instead of point in the docker. Then I found it in the Options (Tools--Options--Document--Styles--Default Graphic, then edit)... still didn't change it in the docker. But after I closed X3, restarted, then started a new doc, it was points. I swear it was that way before and I don't know what changed it. But we'll see if it sticks.

The one thing that I have noticed and what may be happening here is how the file was created.

If Mr. or Mrs. customer created the file using points and you just open the file it will change it to points if it was created in inches it will open that way.

Now if this is just happening with your files then setting the defaults should do the trick.

There is also under TOOLS/OPTIONS/TEXT a section for default text units here as well. Once you change this be sure to save the defaults.
