Convert mm to m

[andreiandronache13]

Hello! I have a problem. I would like to change from mm to m and I can't, I tried with the UNITS command and with DIMSTYLE, but it still doesn't work. Can you help me? When I select the LINE command, it shows me 3823.6581. I want it to show me 3.8236881. Please help me, I searched all kinds of tutorials on the internet, but I couldn't do anything... Thank you!

did you try scaling all the objects in the drawing by 1/1000 = 0.001

What it's showing you is drawing units, which obviously represent millimeters.  If you want the drawing unit to represent a meter, you should scale the whole drawing down by 1/1000.  I suspect that the Dimension Style used to draw those Dimensions has a measurement scale factor of 0.001 applied, so that the numbers come out in meters instead of in mm [drawing units].  If you scale everything down, change that measurement scale factor to 1:

If those Dimensions have that measurement scale factor imposed as a Property override, rather than in the Dimension Style definition, change that to 1 also:

After Scaling everything down, then change the measurement scale factor in the Dimension Style, and also the "Scale for Dimension features" setting so the parts don't overwhelm:

If the Text Style assigned to that Dimension Style has a fixed height, you may need to change that, too [either the Style assigned, or its fixed height.

you were doing such a good job scaling everything down. But then you didn't continue as others have instructed you here to change the dimension style so the dimension texts will scale down as well.
