Centimeter Units for Drawings

Centimeter Units for Drawings

Centimeter Units for Drawings

(OP)
NX7.5 - Win7 x64
Is it possible to add a drafting unit for centimeters? I see millimeters & meters (as well as inches & feet/inches). Is there a configurable file somewhere to add units like this?

I've also been asked (in the past) for microns. That's an easy one to "fake" in MM units with the comma instead of a decimal.

Thank you

RE: Centimeter Units for Drawings

I don't believe that there is a Drafting Standard which supports the use of Centimeters when it comes to dimensioning a drawing.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
