Hello

I would like to know if some way to change the units display on the sheets.
I need to display "cm" in step "mm".

I would like to know if there is a way to make the change or if I need a plug-in or some resource.

 

Thanks community.

Hello Mizraim and welcome to the Fusion Team Forums.  There is no way to change how units display in the viewer, you would need to do this in the editor that created the drawings.  

 

Hope this helps and again welcome to the forums.

Thanks for your reply Bud
So there is a way to can acces to the editor?
Is cause I work with carpenters who are more used to "cm" rather than "mm" on the drawings and I am afraid this change would create conffuions among them.

 

Thanks for your reply

Hello Mizraim,

 

What are you creating the drawings in?  That is where you would have to change the units that display on the screen like dimensions.  If you are talking about measure, you can change that under unit types.  See screenshot below.

Hope this helps answer your question and have a great day.

To do that, you need to change the units in the program that created the drawing. For example, if this were AutoCAD, you would need to open up the drawing and change units inside of AutoCAD. Then save the file and re upload it. 

 

Hope this helps and have a great weekend.
