a little memory gap,

i forgot to use the meter for measuring in autocad.

since i always use millimeter in my designs.

Where i can find to use meter measurement in autocad 2004, it always use my design in millimeter and i forgot where i can find the meter.

Modify the Measurement Scale factor in the Primary Units tab of the Dimension Style Manager.

Are you making dimensions and seeing the measurements off by a factor of 1000?  Is that your problem?

Read the section entitled "Am I drawing in meters or millimeters?"
