Page setup - Custom paper size in METRIC

 

Hi everybody,

 

I'm using Autocad 2018 for MAC and I can't use metric when creating a new custom paper size.

 

Ideas?

 

Best,

Raf

Yes, sure!

 
When in LAYOUT, command PAGESETUP > PLOT SETTINGS > PAPER SIZE > MANAGE CUSTOM SIZES - The only units available there are Inches. I really can't find a way to change to metric.
 
It's driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure it's super simple to solve this I just don't know how.
 
Any help is appreciated :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

First of all, this is OS designed behavior, not AutoCAD behavior. It is same in other native Mac apps when you add new paper sizes. 


This unit aligns with the measurement settings in the OS system preference panel > Language & Region > Advanced > General tab > Measurement units. You can change this settings to Metric, and that should solve the issue.
