JRAGAS Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Whats up fellow acad users. I'm trying to annotate a community residential masterplan. I currently have in architectural units eg.(145'-9 1/2"). What is required for annotating drawing by the local planning board is 145.79'. It seems to me this used to be a simple change utilizing "ddunits"-engineering units with appropriate precision settings. Any help on this matter is appreciated. Thanks J.D.R.

rkent Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 First you drawing needs to be done with the idea that one unit is a foot, autocad defaults to inches. It sounds like this drawing isn't done that way. So if you currently dim a line and get 145'-9 1/2" then you will have to use a scale factor in Dim Style, Primary Units, Measurement Scale-Scale Factor 1/12. While there change Unit format to Decimal and add a ' for the suffix. The other method to get there is to scale your entire model space objects by 1/12 so you are now working in feet and not inches.

JRAGAS Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thank You For The Repley. It Worked Like A Charm. I Created The Masterplan In Architectural Units And Scaled Down 1/12 As You Advised. Worked Like A Charm. Your The Man!!!!!!
