Block dim from meter to millimeters

madhuryya_prakash · ‎08-07-2023

Hi all,

In the attached drawing, I had created the block numbered from 66,67,68 so on...in a meter template initially, later I copied the blocks to a millimeter template(the attached drawing itself) and had scaled the blocks up by 1000 times.

The edit blocks in place shows me the correct units, however in the block editor the dimensions are still shown in meters. Is there a way where I can maintain the consistency in the blocks and maintain the scale as 1 in all the three co ordinates and the block would show dimensions in mm in both edit in place and block editor without exploding and renaming and creating the block all over again, Thanks in advance!

Hi,

>>"I had created the block"

defined in inch

>>"The edit blocks in place shows me the correct units"

RefEdit displaying the block content by using the selected blockreference properties,

your Blockreference scaled 39.3701 >> 1\25.4*1000

>>"however in the block editor the dimensions are still shown in meters."

Because as you draw a line with length 1, you thought it is one Meter

and if you had set the units to meter, it wouldn't be a problem, but you

set up the block units to inch (nobody knows why).

>>"Is there a way"

Change the block units to Meter (in all drawings/templats).

Command: BEDIT 36X50-200 SQ YARD

Command: PROPERTIES

Units -> Meter
