Conversion factor from meter to feet.

[Anonymous]

I would like to change the conversion factor  of  meters to feet to a more accurate value rather that 0.3048. In my place we use the meter to feet conversion with 3.2808333. It makes a lot difference when the decimals does not carry up to 7 decimal place.

Anybody out there who can help me? Thank you!

Where are you trying to make the conversion? Are you trying to set up a dimension style with alternate units?

For information, the multiplier to convert feet into meters is 0.3048. The multiplier to convert meters into feet is 3.281 (3.2808333 your precision).

The Warsaw convention of 1959 agreed to the legal conversion factor of 0.3048 meters in one foot. If you are looking for a more accurate conversion factor you are looking for something that does not exist.
