pjmac Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 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 Quote
designerstuart Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 don't know about 2012 but you could use alternative units in your dimension style setup Quote
ReMark Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I will second designerstuart's suggestion re: Alternate Units. There is a tab for it in your Dimension Style. Quote
SuperCAD Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 0.03937 is the conversion factor for going from metric to imperial. Quote

SuperCAD Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 1" = 25.4mm; 1mm = 1/25.4 (0.0393700787) What he said. Quote
