Civil3d Drawing units INCHES

I have received a drawing from the client, it is a piece of topography and I am positive it is in inches.

Interestingly under Drawing Settings -> Units and Zone -> Drawing Units there are Inches available. I have never seen that before. I thought the only units you can work in Civil3D are meters and feet, right?!Anybody?

I work in Civil3D 2018. Screenshot attached.

Thank you.Image 1.jpg

Hi @Maciej_Lengiewicz, you are totally correct, you can only work in C3D in feet or in meters by default, but if the drawing was created in regular AutoCAD in inches then you will be able to see inches as unit options under the drawing settings.

No, changing drawing setting into feet and even changing units into feet using unit commend also did not help for me. any suggestion?
