    Default Changing Block Units

    Hi, i'm from Brazil and here we use Metric System. But, i've downloaded some blocks from a USA website and they are in Imperial System. And when i insert these blocks in my drawing they are not fitting. I think it's because of the units.

    How can i turn them into the Metric System? Thanks!

    Hi.
    The quickest answer is to simply scale up each block by 25.4 either directly (with the SCALE command) or by changing the x, y and z scales in Property Manager.
    It can be made to work automatically but it depends on your existing settings being correct - look up INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE and INSUNITSDEFTARGET in Help.
