waxe Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Lads, I have small difficulty with my new Acad 2011. I have just installed Trial Version of 2011. I am trying (in Options Menu) to switch from Imperial Units (Default Scale List) to Metric. When I do it, scales are coming back automaticaly to Imperial ones . Is it an issue of Trial Version? Please help. Cheers! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Are you using a metric template like acadiso.dwt for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxe Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yes, I do. I have started from basic acad.dwt with metric units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I believe the acad.dwt template comes in with imperial scales as the default with a handful of what appear to be metric. The template I mention does not include imperial scales at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Try Options>User Preferences>Initial Setup and use the wizard, when asked for a template to use select one of the ISO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxe Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 ReMark: well, I have even copied my own *.dwt from 2006 version with Metrics (the one I have my title blocks, line types, dims types, etc.) , still doesn't work. SLW: Sorry, doesn't work.. Thanks anyway. For now I insert figures i.e 0.001-->1:100. Cheers! p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Attach your template and let one of us, who has 2011, have a go at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Easier way is alter the properties of your autocad desktop icon where it says /p "imperial" to /p "metric" this loads the metric profile straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
