Tankman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Usin' an add on program, pipe, fittings, etc. When inserting, usin' '07, a 2" ANSI flange 6" dia, I get a huge flange 152.4 measurement. I have to use the UNITS command and change from millimeters to inches then I get the proper 6'Ø dia flange. Where would I change the options so that all drawings units are set to inches? Ok, admitted, slow. Good thing tomorrow is Friday. Right skipso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Insunits? .... Tried it, default is indeed '1', didn't work. Typing UNITS at the command line works every time, every drawing. But, need to use UNITS each new drawing I open. I also have '05 installed, never a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyandme Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Format menu Units then autosave your work space settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Format menu Units then autosave your work space settings. Didn't work across the board. In '05 never a problem, '07 continually defaults to millimeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyandme Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Insertion scale in user preferances in options or dimtion style settings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Insertion scale in user preferences in optionsor dimension style settings ? Better luck next time, didn't do the trick. Insertion scale is already set to inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 whats the add on program tank. and does it have an export option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABuckingham Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Set up a template with the correct units already established? Then write your congressman to get off his lazy bottom and switch to the metric system so you don't have to deal with the stupidity of imperial measurements and scales ever again.

Tankman Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 whats the add on program tank. and does it have an export option? Sorry but no export option. As I stated all's fine usin' AutoCAD 2005. Using AutoCAD 2007 works ok only if I use the command "units." From the menu, I change from mm's to inches, then all's fine. I was just lookin' to avoid using the command line "units" entry every time I open a .dwg file when using AutoCAD 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srowe Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Having a somewhat similar problem on CAD 2009. My school uses metric but I am allowed to change for this project. Did the Format/Unit change at the begining. For some reason I hit inches instead of feet. It won't change to feet and new ones with feet don't work either. I really don't want to redo my floorplan, but my teacher could not get it to work. Any help out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
