help - units

My units are displaying in feet and inches instead of millimetres

 

All settings are on millimetres but lines are still drawn and measured in a different unit

Please provide screen shots to illustrate your issue.

That's not your units settings. Type UNITS.

At first it was in inches, so I changed it the millimetres (thought yay easy fix) but it doesnt change when I draw. (I have closed and reopened to let it update the changes but no change)

It looks right from here. What makes you think it is wrong? (Include screenshots that actually show the error in your response.)

Nothing you've shown so far indicate feet and inches, sorry. If it were feet and inches, they would be labeled as such.

 

Good luck!

the units are wrong to my settings. To show this I changed the Dim units from decimal to architectural but the units are still incorrect regardless of the dim units

If the units in the images prior to Message 13 are incorrect, it's not in a feet-and-inches way.  What's incorrect about them?

It's actually below the Screencast stuff that's immediately below the text box.  It looks like this:

Pick on the word browse if you want to navigate to where you have the file, rather than drag-&-drop.

I hope I've done it right, it should it attached? 

I have drew a line at 10 and measured with the linear. the line should be 10mm long but it isn't. All units setting are correct (from my thread yesterday) I dont know what else to change. Thanks for helping

Just logged on and seems ok, although the the linear lines as they was and the colour. I can change each one individually but how do i change the standard settings. 

 

Sorry I'm such an idiot - i'm new to this haha
