Hello,

New to autocad need some help.

 

I have a hard copy drawing in mm so i drew it in mm. Now i have to dimension it in inches. I have tried several things including opening a new drawing in imperial, changed the units, INSUNITS are set to 1.

 

Not sure what to do.

 

Thanks

I will second designerstuart's suggestion re: Alternate Units. There is a tab for it in your Dimension Style.
