How to set the units format and precision in Autocad?


Before you start to draw, you must decide what one drawing unit
represents based on what you plan to draw. You can convert a drawing between
systems of measurement by scaling it.

Every object you create
is measured in drawing units. Before you start to draw, you must decide what
one drawing unit will represent based on what you plan to draw. Then you create
your drawing at actual size with that convention. For example, a distance of
one drawing unit typically represents one millimeter, one centimeter, one inch,
or one foot in real-world units.
