Drawing saving with different units

Recieved a drawing that was originally in imperial. Used AECDWGSETUP to change the units to metric. Everything seems to be okay, but one user opens the drawing to edit it, and the drawing is getting changed back to imperial automatically. Not sure what I should be looking at to stop this from happening. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

INSERT the problem file into your 'metric' template file and use this newer file instead is one option.

Dean,

 

Thanks for the idea. I'm only having one user that's having this issue, so i'm thinking it's a setting or something in their ACA setup. I have a few dozen drawings that are behaving that way. They seem to have a couple other odd issues going on, so i've requested they reinstall ACA. If the problem persists, i'll try the insert option and see what happens.

 

Thanks,
