Drawing Units issue

[ithink]

ADT/CAD 2008

I am trying to insert a space tag into a drawing. Althought the drawing is set to arch units, inches, and SF, the tag is reading M2.

Under design properties, it reads as 1217 SF, but under extended data, it reads as 1217 M2

HELP!!!

Try scaling it using

1 M2 = 10.76391 SF

[ithink]

it is not scale issue.

the 1217 measurement is correct. When I attach a tag, it reads in M2, not SF. That is the issue.

Is it like a dimension line or something that is diplayed on your drawing or is it only displayed in your properties?

Its a room tag with an area calc

the calc is correct, its just reading in metric, not imperial, althought th edrawing is in imperial

Ok I am thinking that your tag is a premade block and it defaulted to metric. By the way it was made, can you double click it and edit the properties, so that you can change the display of it to say SF?? If not then perhaps you might need to find one that is made for Imperial drawings, or possibly explode it and change the text.

Other than that, I would have no more suggestions.
