    I am working through some tutorials and all my AEC dimensions are displaying 25.4 times what they should be?? Any ideas why?

    25.4 mm to an inch; which units are you working in?

    well i thought i was all set up in inches! the book i am reading (Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2005: A Comprehensive Tutorial) is all inches, i use mm. For the sake of learning i was trying to do everything in inches. I will address this! Thanks.

    EDIT
    Everything is set up in inches - normal dims are fine, it is just when i AEC dim it comes out wrong???

    i would suggest looking through the AEC dim style (right click and click on edit style) There might be something that is causing this within the settings. Being unfamiliar with 2005 I do not know what was available then. The AEC dims have been reworked somewhat in later releases.
