I need some pointer to finish doing the complete work and not just the previous patch that fixes the import (I.E allowing an empty height field). I've managed to add a None unit option to the dialog by changing lengthcommon.cpp but I can't make it catch on, if I pick it, it defaults back to 0pt instead of setting Length::empty() to true (UNIT_NONE). Where is that check performed? (I need to add the extra state) Thanks > The patch is attached. > Micha
