    I'm asking if I can open for example the Arbor Press in Tutorial files or anything that was made in Inch in Millimeter.

    On the Units Tab under document settings, you can change to your desired measurement standard.

    Nevermind. I didn't see that you are using Autocad 2009. I don't think my head is on right today.
