Change units from mm to inches
Change units from mm to inches
(OP)
Have you guys figured this out? When you get a drawing that’s set to mm, how do you change it to report in inches instead?
When I use the DI command in the command line to check a dimension between 2 points, it will report "305". I know this is mm but I presume the program just knows this as generic 'units'. 305mm is about 12”.
If I type UNITS and change the units to inches it’ll report 25’5”. It seems to be converting the whole scale so that 1mm = 1”.

RE: Change units from mm to inches
There are two ways around this. First you can select all the lines and scale them by 1/25.4 or you can change you dimension style to show the dimension with a scale factor of 1/25.4. I highly recommend the first solution.
