How do I best convert Civil drawings using decimal units in to Arch. units?
What does "decimal units to arch units" mean?
Do you actually mean convert the drawing from "foot as a base unit" to "inch as a base unit"?
What is the purpose, to share with someone who needs it in inches as a base?
Just trying to get more info, thanks.
It sounds like you are just trying to change the base units of the drawing, which can be done using the UNITS command. But if that's not what you are talking about, then I'm not exactly sure what you need to do.
If you change the UNITS, you will also need to scale everything up\down by 12 or 0.0833333 depending on which way you are going.
Yes, I guess I am trying to change the base units. The drawing I am working on was created with base unit=decimal. I need to convert the base units to Architectural units. I know understand that I need to rescale everything but I don't know how? Or even where to start?
I am sure once I do this the first time it will all make sense, I just need a little push in the right direction.
Thanks
