daedalus Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Is it possible to use alternate dimension units for individual dimensions? I want almost all of my dimensions to be in feet-inches, but I'd like to have a few in centimeters. Any way to do this without having to laboriously calculate and edit each dimension I want in metric? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Set up a Custom Dimension Standard (in Document Preferences) Set the Layout to Dual Side by Side and then set the Dual View to Secondary Only. This Dim Standard will then use Metric units. Select the dimensions you want to display in metric and set the dimension standard to use your custom standard in the OIP. If you want to do this often, you will need to create a template file or add the new dimenstion standard to your template file. Pat Quote Link to comment
