Metric to Prime (Feet & Inches)
Being working with metric all my life, now the drawings need to be in feet and inches.
Is there a way of just converting an existing metric drawings such that all the dimensions appears in 5ft 6in (5' 6'') without having to redraw?
In drawing a new drawing what will the dimmension style settings be to appear in 5' 6'' format?

Try using alternate units. DIMALT on... that will display both units. You also have to set DIMALTF (the factor 0.03937) and DIMALTU (the units = 6 for Architectural feet & inches)

Thanks for the input, my major problem is that the converts do not tally (see attached)

What you will want to do since you are not using Alternate units is change the DIMLFAC from 1.0 to 0.03937.

Look at the first reply from me on this thread. This will display both the Metric and Imperial units on a single dimension line.

Got this part too. I was always delecting the style overides so I did not see it. Also thinking it will change the already dimension metric in prime not knowing it will be effected in the new dimensions to be drawn.

CAN WE GET PETER MILNER TO TRAIN SOME OF US FOR A TOKEN ?
Good day, forum members,I was thinking that we could each, if interested, contribute a significant token to give Peter Milner and David to train us virtually in nxt render for Autocad. Am not sure he still uses it but the experience he has spanning over 20 years cannot be underestimated. I wish the forum co-ordinators could look into this. So that more of us will produce realistic renders with the paid version of nxt render and we will be able to encourage other users of other more advanced…See More
