AutoCAD How to Check Units & Change Them Easily! | 2 Minute Tuesday

It was really useful

Need some assitance. I have a drawing from a surveyor in decimal. I imported the drawing into my template and trying to draw a line but it is off by a scale of 12 and I cannot seem to correct the issue. My Units are set to Engineering and inches. I have tried multiple combinations in dwgunits with no sucess.

I wanna ask about the cmmand bar when I calculated the areas it not showing with the new measurement that is meter it showed with mm

Heeelpp Brandon! My line work isn't visible after I switch units using the dwgunits command. The line work is still there and visible when I hover over it but disappears after the fact.

Thank you🎉

HELP!

so i did DWGUNITS, set to mm... but when i check it @1:100 scale, drawing units is 100 instead of 0.1...
how can i fix this?

OMG i recognize that symbol on your hat from something that I either used to watch or play back in high school but I can't remember it. Is it Assassin's creed????

Hey Brandon any advice on getting a remote drafter job for companies in the us?

Running a few tests with R2022, it looks like the DWGUNITS command (which I can't find in "Help") does the same as a SOME items in UNITS. The major difference is that DWGUNITS can precisely scale and entire drawing so the drawing acts as if it was totally redrawn from scratch in the newly specified unit assumption. Is this right?

I wonder if each command (UNITS or -UNITS, and DWGUNITS) was coded by two separate people, totally independent of each other.

This is the first time I have heard of dwg units. I'll have to watch the video several times to understand them and how they affect my drawing and why I would change anything.

It seems like this could really confuse a project if someone used this dwg command and changed something.
