ACAD and millimeters, blocks and scale - D-Tools Forum

05-26-2008, 01:43 PM

Being based in Norway, all of our material is being drawn with units=mm. Does D-tools have a template/startup file that don't relate to inches?

We have a lot of stuff to work out:
We use A4/3/2/1/0 and ISO versions of the same - no ANSI sheets
Our database is built in mm. When changing drawing units to mm, blocks does not relate to this. Seems like D-tools convert mm to inches, then to units in inches. This means that scale plan blocks ends up being approx 1/25 of actual size - not good.

Any chance you have worked out a AcadISO-dtools file?

Just touching the top of the icebeg with regards to international compatability here - pretty sure I'll be back here posting more stuff. Any other european users having the same problems or having a workaround - post it here please.

I have the same frustrations.......what's the work around?
I guess I should look if anyone posted an International Sheetset with millimeters and A0-A4 layouts!
