    <description>&lt;P&gt;You change the UNITS with the below option, but this will &lt;U&gt;not convert the drawing&lt;/U&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need to change my drawing units from inches to feet.&amp;nbsp; For example, when I draw a&amp;nbsp;line&amp;nbsp;and type "100" it spits out a line that is 100 inches long.&amp;nbsp; I need it to be a line that is 100 ft long when I type "100".&amp;nbsp; Basically I need to go from decimal inches to decimal feet.&amp;nbsp; Any help would be much appreciated!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for this.&amp;nbsp; I opened the -DWG dialog box and the units were set to mm but the output was some how converted to inches? I'm migrating from microstation and setting these units is something that I find drastically different. I have fixed my problem through the UNITS dialog box and I'm now able to draw in decimal feet.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As a note of caution, most people don't draw in decimal FEET, unless they are surveying or machining. &amp;nbsp;They draw in FeeT-INches (LUNITS = 3 or 4), where a line 100 units long would be 100 inches or 8'-4" long. &amp;nbsp;To draw a line 100FT long you'd draw a line 100' (add the ft mark).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Drawing a line 3FEET 10 and 5/8" long in decimal feet (LUNITS = 2) would require some gymnastics. &amp;nbsp;With LUNITS = 3 or 4, when keying in length simply enter 3'10-5/8 and you get the line precisely that long.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I know I'm the oddball with that &lt;img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.png" alt="Emoticono muy feliz" title="Emoticono muy feliz" /&gt; ! I keep a conversion chart handy for quick reference so&amp;nbsp; for me it's easier and faster to draw in decimal feet and eliminates the complication of fractions, e.g., instead of typing 3'-10 5/8" I simply type 3.8854' and get the same line with less hassle.&amp;nbsp; To each his own!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That depends on your definition of "hassle". &amp;nbsp;I didn't have to create and keep track of a cheat sheet, or hunt it down when I needed it, or look through it for the number (if your sheet covers 16ths through 1'-0" that's 192 numbers) and then key it in. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;3.8854' is 6 keystrokes 3'10-5/8 is 8 keystrokes, but I understand that those two keystrokes are SUCH a hassle and 5/8 is SO complicated, so I can see where you might want to avoid them ..............&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Actually, rculp, google has plethora of conversion charts already available so I didn't need to create anything. I simply printed it and it's been taped to my cork board next to my monitor for the past 3+ years. As you can imagine I have all the major increments memorized just from using it so much so I only need to glance to my left for that occasional 1/16 or 1/8. Yes, not only am I saving keystrokes by doing this but I'm also not having to type in any special characters. This my seem trivial to you but over the course of a work day it does save time. Lastly, decimals are just overall easier to work with than fractions if you take the time and effort to learn them!</description>
