Hello,
I wanted to add imperial dimensions as an alternate unit using "Architectural" to convert from mm to inches.
The multiplier I need to use is 0.0393701, the problem is that the software doesn't allow me to enter this value because it uses less digits.
It changes this to 0.0394 and the problem is that this gives inaccurate imperial dimensions especially for large values.
Is there a solution to this?
Re: Multiplier for Dimension Alternate Units
#2Hi,
It's the display number only; the result is still exact as the original multiplier.
By the way, you can set the "display precision" using the UNITS command.
Please refer to the attached image.
Regards.

#3You can increase the unit precision in your Drawing Settings → Units tab before entering the conversion factor.Empyrium wrote: ↑Fri Oct 10, 2025 11:17 amHello,
