    Pretty much what is in the subject. I have a drawing set up to be Survey Feet and everytime i export it to autocad using the export tool it converts it to international feet. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Change the drawing settings of your QNEW template to Survey Feet.

    What was your Drawing Settings Zone before exporting? Was it set to a US State Plane Zone, or was it No Datum, No Projection but still using Survey Feet?

     

    In 2013, if I set my DWG to MA83F and export to AutoCAD, the ACAD drawing is MA83F.

     

    If I only have the drawing set to No Datum, No Projection, but choose US Feet, they are lost in the export and set back to International.

     

    Hope this helps,
