This is in response to thread1480-335482.

This is what I used to use in AutoCad and it should work in DraftSight. With the drawing set to inches to enter a mm dimension just use a fraction with a decimal shift.

Example 10mm would be the fraction 100/254 since you can't enter 10/25.4

500mm would be 5000/254.

i.e. just add 0/254 after you mm dimension.
