    Default Metric Drawing Scale

    Does anyone have or know how I should make a metric drawing scale? We typically work using architectual units & this is our first metric job. We need to be able to place a metric scale where we would normally place the imperial scale on the drawing.

    Hi there,
    I assume you're drawing in metric so everything is 25.4 times bigger than imperial units on your drawings?

    If so, attached are some metric graphic scales that will work 1:1 in metric paperspace.

    Basically it's one block (a dynamic block) shown with different visablity states.

    Hope it helps.
