It is standard for Autocad users to work in inches therefore you should export using 1" instead of 1'.

I use inches and feet. She wants to use the same units but when she opens the file everything is in meters. I've checked with some other AutoCAD users and they have the same issue with my file. I have set my conversion file to "Value of 1DXF/DWG Drawing Unit in ArchiCAD = 1 foot" to no avail. I don't know what else to do? I know she can change it on her end, but I don't want a client to have to do that. Any suggestions?</T></DIV> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:22:21 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Converting-to-AutoCAD-unit-problem/m-p/203615#M25474 Anonymous 2010-09-09T20:22:21Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Converting-to-AutoCAD-unit-problem/m-p/203616#M25475 Either use a template file that is set to inches before you export or tell her to type <B>units</B> in Autocad and select Architectural with fractional inches from the options.<BR /> <BR /> Autocad by default starts in decimal units which does not necessarily means that it is in meters.
