    Default Dimensions will not show up in Feet.

    I have changed the units to feet in the units window but the dimensions show up in inches. I drew the house using inches but I want it dimensioned in feet. When I look at the properties of the dimension it says its in feet but its in inches in the drawing. I could just use the text override but the in would not be dynamic. So any help is appreciated.

    Not sure if I understand, there are no units in "feet".
    Do you mean you drew it in architectural units (feet and inches) and want to dimension it in decimal feet?

    Change your dimension style to Architectural or Engineering.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    You will need to use Architectural units in your dimension style to get feet and inches.
