Strange Problem

[bolton78]

Ive been emailed a drawing from the usa and therefore its in inches,and my setup up is in MM.but when i do a dimension in mm it comes up as the size in inches

eg 60MM = 60 inches?
25MM = 25 inches?

You need to scale the drawing by 25.4 up to get it in millimeters.

btw - what do you need to do with the drawing? Alter it? Just have it as a X-ref? It may change how you can handle it.

Also, if you just need to dimension it, check the Alternate Units setting in Dimension Style.

Tiger, bouncy Tiger - I'm sure you mean 25.4 !

Isn't that what she said, Blue?

Maybe she got it wrong, and quickly edited it........
