Creating a Metric Piping Drawing in ABS 2007

[mhabashy]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a piping drawing in Metric. I have gone into "Drawing Setup" and set my units to millimeters. I have set my Profile to "ABS US Metric" and I verified that my catalogs reference US metric. But when I add pipe, the size is "Undefined". What seems to be the problem?

I could have sworn I saw an issue similar to this run through the forums here in the last 6-12 months or so - and for the life of me, I cannot find it via the search function. If anyone else recalls what I'm referring to, please help me brain out...

Have you tried to create a US metric desk top shortcut symbol and change the Target (T) in "Shortcut" to
"C:Program FilesAutodesk Building Systems 2007acad.exe" /ld "C:Program FilesAutodesk Building Systems 2007AecBase50.dbx" /p "Building Engineering - US Metric"

My Metric ABS has no problem with what you said.
