Thanks Donnie, your video always helps me to get the path, no other such video tutorial specifically for the dimension style.
Thought I should say thanks, it always feels nice to know we are helping someone, someway :)

Great tutorial! The company I work just assigned me a job to work on in Belgium. So I am getting a crash course in using the metric systems in my CAD drawings. Up until now I have only had to use imperial measurements.

Thank so much this was live saving. God bless you

I knew this but needed a reminder. Thank you for posting.

+Rob Kwalheim The videos I create are as much a documentation tool for me as they are a learning tool for those who stumble upon them. Thanks for watching. Glad the video was helpful to you.

It's very helpful tutorial clip. Big thanks...

THANKS HELPED A LOT

[@violaflo4057]

thanks for the nice tutorial,
can you make one where we can set the dimension style in a way that the dimensions with less than a meter are shown in centimeter?
Like 2m will be shown as 2 and 0,80 m will be shown as 80.
Thanks :)

HI,
I tried several times to convert my units to mm but when adding my alternative units on drawn line , the measuraments do not match. For example i would like to have a 20 mm long line but it 42'-4'' in.
I also converted my units in mm and then set up the prymary and secondary units as shown in this video but still my measurament dont match up.
Can anyone please stir me to the solution to this problem?
Thanks

Hi, i do my drawings in metric how should i do this to get inches? what would be the factor i should use in the alternate dim

[@AhmerghausiTheMAG]

thanks for the nice reminder video but there is something i want to is that i'm working with multiple unit systems so it would be lot of work to convert all to dimensions in one system before make a drawing, so what i wana know is if we can draw on multiple unit system by typing something in command line to tell the autocad that we want to draw this object in Inches and that object in mm or feet or anything else..
If anybody know the solution for this time consuming conversion please let me know. I'd be very great full for you help.
Thank you.

I want to display Architecture units and the same time displaying in meters, How can i do that?

[@GOPART5801]

Thank you

[@thomaswhite2802]

Good tip on that I prefer metric system but employers have the final say, this helps with international work.

[@jorgegolik3480]

if i want only Alternate Unit, how i can remove the primary unit?

[@kalagishah2817]

Thank you. 😀

[@Arkasingharoy97]

how can I do the same thing fit or mm

[@noamhazandesign]

Hello, is there a way to change the distance between the stacked dimensions? Mine are showing very far apart. Thanks

[@aali5067]

can anyone please help me ,
I want to work on "meters" how can i set unit as meter?
if i draw a line of 1feet long, and i want to calculate it on meter by annotation, how can i do that?
