Changing the Unit of Measure

The units of measure used in your project are determined by a template, which by default is either a feet/inches template or millimeters template.

Once you’ve opened a new project, you can change the units of measure and levels of precision used in that project by making selections on the Units of Measure page of the Program Settings dialog.

To set your units of measure:

1. Select Settings > Program Settings or click the Program Settings button on the Settings toolbar.

2. In the Program Settings dialog, select the Units of Measure tab.

3. Select either Imperial Units or Metric Units, then select the desired units to use.

4. Select a level of precision for each unit of measure. For example, selecting #’-# #/16” sets the level of precision to 1/16th of an inch when working in feet and inches.

5. Once you’ve set your units of measure, click OK.
