    Default Scale List Units Metric / Imperial

    Probably more Autocad related rather than ACA but any idea why I have a drawing with units set to metric but the Viewport Scale List and Annotation Scale List shows up in imperial?

    It only happens with dwg files received from a Surveyor that we use, see attached as an example.

    That drawing had the Measurement system variable set to 0 (Imperial) and not 1 (Metric). Unfortunately, simply changing the value of Measurement to 1 is not enough. You will also have to run ScaleListEdit and reset the list to the default values.
