joe newell's ghost Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Is there a fast and easy and completely AUTOMATIC way to convert imperial dimensions in an imperial drawing to metric dimensions in a metric drawing. I know I can just change the scale and monkey around a bit to make the drawing metric but I need to provide a metric dimensioned drawing to a municipality for a building permit and an imperial one to a contractor for construction. How do I convert without having to change each and every dimension manually. Anyone? thanks! Quote Link to comment

TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 That gives only the hard convert though, right? Quote Link to comment
joe newell's ghost Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 uh...what do you mean? I changed the units to be in millimetres and changed the scale to be a metric scale. The only thing I am stymied on is all the little datum elevations on my site plan which aren't dimensions and so won't convert with the units options. Also all the dimensions I fudged are sticking out like sore thumbs as imperial in a sea of metric. Quote Link to comment
