- UNITS allows you to specify scaling units for dimensioning
- other than the units used in the construction of the part
- itself.
-
- The construction unit switch indicates whether working
- units (for geometric construction and so forth) are
- interpreted as inches, millimeters, feet, centimeters,
- yards, or meters when displaying viewing scales, creating
- plot files, and working in conjunction with the UNITS
- function. When an option is selected, the unit of
- measurement designated is applied as a scale to all
- dimensioning thereafter. All previous dimensioning remains
- the same.
-
- Assign a unit by choosing from the following options:
-
- INCH - to assign inches as the scaling unit
- MM - to assign millimeters as the scaling unit
- FEET - to assign feet as the scaling unit
- CM - to assign centimeters as the scaling unit
- YARD - to assign yards as the scaling unit
- METER - to assign meters as the scaling unit
- USER - to enter your own scale factor for the current
- part
-
- USER lets you enter a custom scale factor for the current
- part units. Enter a new value, or press <Enter> to accept
- the default scale factor. CADKEY multiplies the new value
- by the dimension unit value and displays it as the new
- dimension.
