I have a venue drawing that is in mm and I need to convert it to ft/inch so I can update and get dimensions from it. Can this be done so when I change the format in drawing units it will update the drawing units?
Current settings.
Drawing units
Length:
Type - Decimal
Percisin - 0
Angle:
Type - Decimal Degrees
Precision - 0
Insertion Scale:
Unitless
Thanks

Your drawing doesn't know it's mm or inches, km.... it only knows one thing length, so you have to scale the drawing,
or you can leave it as it is and add dimension factor to it.
