UNITLESS TO REQUIRED SCALE

[t.miseviciute0320171]

Hello, I was given a unitless drawing and I need to figure out what units were used to draw it and how can I transform it to my required units without re-drawing it? Thanks

Do you think it is imperial or metric.

Would it be possible to upload your drawing?

Hi,

>>"I need to figure out what units were used to draw it"

Measure a part what size you know,

for example in a floor plan:

Switch to MODEL tab

Command: DIST

measure a normal door.

Distance ~1 Units?

Then it is and was drawn in Meter

or 1000?, Then it is Millimeter, and so on.

>>"and how can I transform it to my required units without re-drawing it?"

If you switch from metric to imperial or the other direction,

tell us your units, the current and the unit you want.

Transform:

For example Command SCALE
