Dimension Units default?

#1 Post by KevinA » 27 Jul 2021, 02:28

I just imported a PADS PCB project (Imported without issues!) and was trying to figure out what units they used to layout the PCB but as I place a dimension I have to change each one to Common from mm in order to use the View/Units to change all dimensions otherwise the dimension is stuck in mm.
Is there somewhere to set the default for the dimensions so all the dimension from that point forward are the same? The only way I can change the dimension units, at least that I can find, is after I place the dimension.

See attached screenshot. Change units from common to your preferred units. The setting is memorized for future units.
