Changing to Metric (2013)

Hello,

This seemingly should have an easy answer, but I'm totally lost. I would like to draw some simple cross sections in metric units. I understand how to toggle the annotate dimensions, but I don't understand how to change the toolbar things into metric. I have tried changing the 'Drawing Units' to millimeters, but this does not affect the toolbar items. For example, when I want to use the 'Reinforcement - cross-section' button on the toolbar, even if I've changed the Drawing Units to metric, it still asks for input in inches. I found a similar problem in the Inventor community, and the solution was to open the Metric template. I tried opening the 'Civil Metric Sheet Set' in the templates folder, but still the toolbar items ask for inches.

Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers

Go to the ASD model tab, then click on Project Preferences button 2nd from the righthand side. Then there will be a units category in that dialog box.
