Problem

I am comfortable working with specific working units, and due to project requirements I need to change the units between ongoing projects. Is this possible? 


Steps to Accomplish

To achieve this requirement follow the steps below.

1. First choose File>Settings>User>Preferences>Building Architectural.
2. In the Preferences dialog first change the ‘Unit of Measure’ as per your requirement.
3. Then tick on the check box next to ‘Unit of Display’, choose the desired value then click on OK.
4. From the File menu click on Save Settings.
5. You should now see that both the ‘Unit of Measure’ and ‘Unit of Display’ have been changed.
