Converting a Civil 3D Imperial Template to Metric

Hi friends

How are you?

 

I'm trouble with my project... I'm used to work with meters units in my projects.

 

So in this project, I don't know it's a inch unit. How can I do that?

Thanks

If you're saying you want to work in inches. You can't. Civil 3D doesn't work in inches.

If you're saying you have received a drawing that is in inches and want to convert it to meters. You'll have to scale it down by the appropriate conversion. If you have to scale it. You may have to move and rotate it into the correct coordinate system.

Thanks for replay

 

But I don't understand, the previous version was right. Maybe I did something wrong and mess up the file...

 

And I don't know how to back to metes.

The previous version of the drawing?

The previous version of the template?

The previous version of the software?

 

In the Toolspace on the settings tab. Right click on the current drawing and select edit drawing settings. You should have a choice of either Feet or Meters.

I'd like to know the value "2d area" in m² and "Cut and Fill" in m³.
