To enable the user to input his drawing data in the units of his choice the system variables set by UNITS will allow this.
Nov 24, 2015 · for feet inch value it has to scale factor of 0.0397 (i.e. 1/25.4 which mm to inch conv.) I tried to apply conversion factor in attdef of the same but I could not apply. Note: In Dimension settings same scale factor (conversion factor) [primany units=mm, Alternate units=Architectural with scale factor of 0.0397] I can put and If I use dimordinates command it will come properly both mm and ft.in
