Hi! I just started to use fArea, which is great! Thank you!

my problem:

i am using zwCAD (an autocad clone), and the fArea works just fine.
anyway, if I am trying to enter a "string suffix" that has an empty space inside, it does not work.
The empty space is perceived as an "enter" command, so the "string suffix" becomes an empty string, and the routine of fArea is asking for the next step.

I tried to paste the "empty space" into the text window (at the prompt) but it does not work either.

Is it a general problem, or just in my zwCAD?

How can I get the routing fArea to put an empty space?

In fact, I would just need it to create someting like this:

10,00 m²

but for this, I need to put an empty space in front of m², and this does not work...
I always get it without the empty space between the number and the "m²":

10,00m²

your help would be appreciated!
thank you!

Thank you for your very fast response!
The setq command worked great.

For those who don't know anything about lisp:

I found (also in your forum) how to use it:
at the command prompt of the CAD software, just entered:
(setq _FAREASUFFIX " m²")
and this brought later, when using "fArea", the right area field:
10,00 m² (with a space in between number and the square meter symbol)
