Here's my problem. I created a drawing months ago using the wrong units. It's in inches and i want to be in metric. My format is in metric, but when i want to offset a line to a certain length, that's when the unit discreption is noticed. I tried to go to options and change the units from there, but then the text size and arrowhead size are all still in inches. Any solutions?

try going to drawing properties-detail options then change 'dual dimensions' to 'secondary' and change 'dual secondary units' to mm. this will allow you to dimension inch parts in metric
