The problem most likely is that you opened the default drawing template file named acad.dwt (imperial units) rather than the one named acadiso.dwt (metric) or a similar metric drawing template.  Try again.]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2017 13:46:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12471&PID=35176&title=units-of-the-layout#35176 <![CDATA[Units of the Layout : Hi all,GMTDetect languageAfrik...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=12471&PID=35175&title=units-of-the-layout#35175 Author: Dariusddd

Hi all,

I have working on file which is SavedAs from other file, maybe not genuine AutoCAD's file. I come to Layout modeling stage. I choose A1 paper size. Setup manager shows 840x594 mm. Thats OK. But in Paper view I decide to measure paper size. Ant it shows me 32x23. It is in inches if I'm right. Dimscale is OK. Units are decimal... 

The question - where is the problem and how to return it back to Metric world?
thank you
Darius
