    Default Imperial to Metric

    I have an Imperial Drawing. I open AA-2008 in Imperial Units, I open the imperial drawing
    I do a Wblock of objects within the drawing. Save to a new location. Open the Newly
    made wblock drawing and the Units are Metric.??????????
    I can not unfder stand how the drawing is getting converted to metric from an imperial drawing and all my setting are imperial.?????? Any Ideas.????

    Check to make sure that you are not some how defaulting to a metric template...

    LITTLE KNOW FACT.... Wblock uses the default template regardless of the drawing units. So, if you have a metric drawing open, and you make a wblock.... if your template is inches... you will not get a metric block.
