Are you running AutoCAD Architectural or Civil3D?

If so then millimeters would likely be disabled in those toolsets.  The number selection for millimeters in DWQGUNITS is 3 but you would have to run AutoCAD plain to see that.

You should look in the Autodesk application folder on your start menu and select the AutoCAD shortcut for plain.  The AEC toolsets always provide a shortcut for plain ACAD.

 

Cheers,

Blaine

Hi,

 

try 3 for Millimeter.

To your display results ... seems to be Mac specific, the AutoCAD for Mac forum is >>>there<<<

Oops, MAC users don't have shortcuts and start menus.

I wasn't aware that the additional toolsets ran on MAC.  Need to figure out what version you are running and is it plain or LT?

Hi,

 

Thans for your quick response I'm using ACAD and it seems that there is no number 3 in DWGUNITS.

 

I've used AutoCAD on windows without this problem it seems like it's just a MAC problem.

Hi,

 

>> there is no number 3 in DWGUNITS

It's not listed, but as I can see on your screenshot entering 3 is accepted, just finish the command ... 😉

It is a bug in AutoCAD for Mac - it doesn't show all options for -DWGUNITS command, but in fact this command works fine, you just need to know all possible options yourself 😞
