Specifying default units options for the current drawing
3 Under Drawing Units, select the desired units.
Various imperial and metric units are available. The units that
you select determine the unit of measurement that each unit in
your drawing represents. For example, if you select Inches, each
drawing unit equals one inch.
4 To scale objects that you insert into the current drawing from
drawings with different drawing units, select Scale Objects Inserted
from Other Drawings.
Clear this option to insert objects at their original size without
scaling. For example, if an item that is one inch long were inserted
into a drawing set to millimeters, this setting would scale the item
to 25.4 mm in length when enabled. With this setting disabled,
it would remain one unit long, (which would now be only one
millimeter rather than one inch).
5 Under Length, select a unit type and desired precision.
6 Under Angle, select an angle type and desired precision.
If you want to measure angles clockwise instead of
counterclockwise, select Clockwise.
