Switch From Imperial To Metric

[christianbaileypaulsen1]

I have a block that displays the X and Y coordinates of itself, and also populates a data extraction with those X and Y coordinates. Id like to be able to switch it from imperial to metric using maybe a lookup table or a visibility state. Please let me know if you can think of a solution. Thank you so much.

Here you go.

It's got 2 visibility states. Imperial and Metric

That works fine but how did you do it? I see you used formula but im not really sure how it works. Could you explain what formula you used to get this?

[christianbaileypaulsen1]

Also for some reason your blocks metric attribute do not work in a data extraction. Any clue why?

And can we please do cm instead of mm? I cant figure out how to edit you formula. So if you could post the new block id really appreciate it.

See the attached Screencast. I put in 25.4 because that's how many millimetres are in an inch. If your drawing was metric I would have put 10/254, which is the same as 1/25.4 (LT can't do fractional calculations)

Watch the screencast I've just posted and instead of putting 25.4 put 2.54
