Dimension in drawing 3

[onlyforyou]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a drawing from 3-D model. The 3-D model is made in Metric and i have to make drawing in US units. Whenever i dimension 2-D it takes Metrics unit based on the relationship to 3-D drawing. Please advise me.

Edit...setup...units.

Change units to imperial.

Click on Edit in the part not the drawing.

Hi Hydromech,

I do not want to change the unit system for part. Is there any option in the drawing mode which allows to convert metric to US

If you are not able or willing to change the units in the part, I would suggest creating an assembly with inch units and create your drawing of that. All dimensions will need to be created.

You can change the units display in the drawing. RMB in a blank area, pick properties/drawing options. Scroll down to the dimensions options and set dual_dimensions to secondary, dual_secondary_units to mm. You may also want to set dual_digits_diff to -1.
