Line Weights from inch to mm (ANSI)

[ross_sapienza]

hello,

I am wondering if there might be an easy way to change layer line weights from IN to MM, within the "Default_Standard_(ANSI)_style". What I'm after is the ability to maintain the English ANSI standard, but use millimeters for line weight, globally.

Thanks

Hi! It does not seem that there is a way to convert the line weight unit in ANSI (Inch) to ANSI (mm). You will have to start with an ANSI (mm) template. Its line weight will be mm based. Then change the dimension styles so that the length unit will be inch based.

Many thanks!

cool, thanks guys.

I guess I was hoping there was a setting for this, like the autocad radio buttons in options, easy to switch, lol.

Hi! For parameter units, you may simply change the units in the Doc Settings (Tools -> Doc Settings -> Units).

Many thanks!
