Troubble changing document default Standards settings

Anonymous

Hi, been struggling to find solution to a problem I have.

When working with .step files, the Document settings go wack and causes unneceserry slowdown in workflow and exproted DXF to not be in scale.

 

Is there a way to force default setting in Document settings -> Standard ->Annotations from ASME to ISO and Document settings -> Units ->inch to mm and rad to degree?

 

The settings in Application Options -> File -> Config. Default Tempalte are Millimiter and ISO.

Hi! This can be partially done via Standard.ipt and Standard.iam file. Please open the files and change the settings accordingly (Tools -> Doc Settings -> Units). For Angular Unit, the behavior has been changed indeed. In the past, the imported Angular Unit was dictated by the Standard template, not the STEP file. However, we received negative feedback complaining that the Degree Unit can lead to inaccuracy and also it is inconsistent with STEP file. As a result, the Angular Unit in a STEP imported file is always Radian now.

Many thanks!
