Convert Drawing to Feet and Inches

[morg59jeep]

I have a drawing that was done in decimal units that I need to convert to feet and inches. On the original each 1.0 in decimal = 1 foot. I did a format units and changed it to architectural but now it is scaled wrong. Something that should be 1' is now just 1" ... how do I fix this?

Scale (gulp) by a factor of 12.

You could scale your drawing up to 1:1 or you could change your "Dim Scale Linear", to 12. This is located in properties, primary units. You could also change it in your Dim Style.

While your on the subject, does any body know how to change
architectual (feet&inches) and convert to inches?

 

[Darken99]

Yeah change your dimension to Fractional and put " in your Dim suffix.

A comment on the post from Darken99.
If you do that you should add it as part of a New "Use for" liniar style ( sub set of the current style) so you don't get the " on the angular dimensions.
