Industrial project in feet, doing design in meters

Good day,

we have a project that is in feet and we plan to do it in metres. Any issues that can arise from doing it this way for our civil scope, IE survey exports, measurements?

The project has to be on one unit or the other. You have to pick one and convert anything that's in any other units. If you're in a defined Geo System. It makes some of it easier. I you get a Survey ASCII Point File. You can convert it into another system.

If you have a drawing in Feet and want to work in metric. Everything need to go to metric. The new Drawing Transformation tools are supposed to make that easier. But I haven't tried them yet. Last time I had to do that I had to recreate all the Civil 3D objects.

we are also concerned about our template and converting it to imperial, but it should not be to hard, labels, profiles etc.
