Hello All,

When I am using the Design Centre I noticed that the imperial symbols are much better and more in depth than the metric ones, in fact there are in some cases 5 times as many symbols.

The problem is after I have dragged the imperial symbols in to my drawing it converts all measurements and displays to feet and inches instead of mm, I have looked in options and cant seem to fins anywhere to change it back? My design centre settings are still in millimetres so I am confused?!

Any ideas

Thanks

Dan

Check here...
In ADT 3.3
Desktop - Drawing Setup. What does it have there? Change it if it is wrong. Did this help?

It's probably because it was originally drawn in imperial.

There is bound to be a LISP out there to convert them to metric.

Post in the LISP forum here, FUCCARO (oh great chief o' the LISP clan) could probably create one.
