Michael Schroeder Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looking to see if you could have dimensions in a viewport use different units that the document setting. Example: Document is feet+inches Items I am annotating in my viewport are typically in inches notation. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
tekbench Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Bumping this. Recently had to do a 'regular' USA based drawing that integrated a drop down Projector Screen. Would have loved to have kept the drawing in that feet and inches mode, but changed the units on my detailed projection screen Viewport to MM or Inches Only, rather than Feet and Inches. Also on a construction project - The stud layout is very complicated on a small cottage due to hold downs and steel gadgets in the walls. I was trying to do a stud layout pull from the corners dimensioning in inches only. Most framers in this area would rather see a list of inches. Would have been really nice to just generate a Viewport for the framer without resetting all my drawing units. If this is NOT possible, feel free to move this to the wish list. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think the ability to assign Units to the Dimension Style instead of the Document would accomplish the same thing (and might be easier for the Software Engineers to implement). Here's a previous wish-list item asking for something similar: Quote Link to comment
tekbench Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 OK. Sounds like this has been a thing for a while. I'll go see about some upvoting. Quote Link to comment
Michael Schroeder Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 So you can make a custom dimension standard that uses your dual dimension to help accomplish this. Quote Link to comment

I dont think this has been a thing for a while. Set up two dimension standards, one for the primary dimensions and one for the secondary dimensions. this has been available for years.
