    Imperial to Decimal

    Hi,

     

    I have drawn a model using imperial units, at a scale of 1:1. When I switch the units to decimal, the unit factor remains the same, eg 5" shows as 5mm.

    Is there a setting anywhere that would automaticaly show 5" as 127mm, or do I need to scale my model by 25.4

     

    Thank you in advance

    If you set DIMALT = 1 you can display both:

    Thank you antoniovinci, that is helpful, but what i meant was, is there a setting for listing a line as 5" when the units are imperial, and 127mm when the units are changed to metric?
