Dual Units showing same units in sketch

Unread post by bnemec »

Hi. I messed something up but cannot find where to fix it. Our primary units are inches. Sometimes I like to show dual dims for some things as it's metric nominal. I turned on dual units and now it shows the secondary in inches as well. I've been searching and cannot find where to set the secondary unit back to mm.

Thank you.

Hi Ben,

In Document Properties under units I think you can set the dual dimension as below.

Hope this helps you.

Good grief, it was right in front of me, couldn't read. Thank you for kindly pointing out the obvious. I should have went home at 4:30 yesterday...

Hey Ben,

If you end up "customizing" the units manually on the dimension, then they return to the same unit when they are rounded up. Just a heads up!
