Hi there!
Ive decide to make my own setting for AutoCAD ARch 2010. Since now ive always use templates for drawing.
So, i open a new drawing and my nightmare begins! I am not able to change settings from millimetres to meters. it always draws in millimetres. Even i change the drawing properties to meter, whenever i decide to use for example wall tools it is not suitable for meters, or the dimensions seems to be veeeery BIG!
Can somebody tell me how to make all to suite to meters????
Thanks in advance

	I think it's a good ideea to make 2 diferent styles for dimensioning: one for meters and one for mm. And when you want to make a dimension in meters you must choose this one and in the rest you will use the one made for millimeters. Good luck :))< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" ="">
