    <description>&lt;P&gt;Expanding on what maxim wrote, layouts (paper space) are assumed to be millimeters for metric paper&amp;nbsp;and inches for imperial paper.&amp;nbsp; You *can* get away with other units (e.g. meters) but then you have to start taking into account different scale factors for things like viewport scales and text heights.&amp;nbsp; We've received a number of civil drawings like this and they are a royal PITA to work with.&amp;nbsp; Treat a layout as being "paper units" and everything else follows smoothly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Under ideal circumstances a layout can be plotted on its set paper size (A1, letter, etc.) at a scale of 1:1 with everything fitting.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I want 1 unit = 1 cm. &amp;nbsp;I'm using an iso template. &amp;nbsp;When I draw 1 unit, it's 1mm, not 1 cm. &amp;nbsp;How can I go about resolving this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>How do you know that it is 1 mm?&lt;BR /&gt;It is up to you to decide how long is one AutoCAD unit: if you decided it is 1 cm, than it is 1 cm.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maxim</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"How do you know that it is 1 mm?"&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I draw 1 unit in paper space, and it's clear that the units are mm.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've set -dwgunits to cm, but it still draws in mm.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>-dwgunits is for Model space, not for paper space.&lt;BR /&gt;Plus, as I wrote before, AutoCAD is not aware of the different measurement units, it knows only about abstract drawing unit.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maxim</description>
