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
