Hi,

what you see in Unit dialog is used for scaling if you are using command insert or xref,

nothing to do with dimensions.

What you after is the DIMSTYLE,

there you can find all settings for dimension and the dimension text.

When creating a new drawing, start from acad.dwt instead of acadiso.dwt template.

The first one is imperial based, the second one is metric based.

For already created drawings, use the DWGUNITS command to swap between systems of measurement:
