    Posted: 01.Jun.2011 at 00:19
Is it possible to create a block that will convert decimal to architectural units?
 
We are using blocks for all of our existing elevations and would like to convert them (or have the option) to architectural once the info has been inserted into the field. I'm thinking of having a dynamic block w/ a decimal or architectural feature.
 
Any help / thought would be appreciated. Thanks!

It is possible to insert a bloc without unit problems if you set the DDUNITS parameters in each file you create.
DDUNITS command will let you set an "INSERTION SCALE".
You may find problems if you haven't set appropriatly the DDUNITS parameters in the file in wich you are working and in the file that you will insert.

That's not what I was referring to. For example, I would like to put 12.5 into a block and be able to convert it to 12'-6".
