In anticipation that someone can help me, thank you. Very new to LC. I am  attempting to draw a small house, using Millimeters as the Main Drawing Unit. As an example, I draw a “wall” 1800mm long. To draw the “Wall”  of 1.8 meters, I used 18 points on the worksheet. That is, scaling each DOT on the worksheet as one Centimeter, and therefore each LINE as 1 meter. When I used the Dimension Tool to measure and mark the “Wall” my 1800mm is shows as 18.00. How do I change a setting, so it reads either 1.8m or 1800mm (preferable? After the last two days trying to solve this situation, I am more confused than ever. Printing onto a A4 sheet works fine, but the Dimensions still printed as 1.8m.
