Being metric it should not matter wether you enter 40 or 0.04 it will only be in a look up that you need to check for the size.

Just scale it by 0.001. 

 

A rude way

Being a structural dwg it makes sense to draw in mm in the first place.

But it shall be considered that , normally, at work site operators use METER , or at  least centimeter.

Devitg sorry to disagree probably depends on who your doing projects for, but all my structural detailing was done in mm. Timber, Steel and Concrete.

 

Depends on the requested standard which may vary around the world.

 

Doing full wood construction the timber connections were very complex at times with maybe 10+ screw locations per each joint for panel construction and bolt hole patterns  for timber beam connections.

 

Yes stirrups in a concrete beam would have a dim with 10 x R10 @ 200 c-c. The start end distance would be in mm. the operator should be smart enough to know 200mm is 0.2 if the dwg is in metres.
