Is it possible to add a drafting unit for centimeters? I see millimeters & meters (as well as inches & feet/inches). Is there a configurable file somewhere to add units like this?

I've also been asked (in the past) for microns. That's an easy one to "fake" in MM units with the comma instead of a decimal.

Thank you

I don't believe that there is a Drafting Standard which supports the use of Centimeters when it comes to dimensioning a drawing.
