2) Deg/Min/Sec (How to change unit in AutoCAD)ĭeg/Min/Sec is based on dividing a degree into minutes and minutes into seconds. It shows numbers like 10.5 the same as the length decimal unit. By doing work with this unit is easiest if allowed in your project. 1) Decimal Degreesĭecimal degree units are showing decimal numbers. If you design molecules or galaxy, this is a useful unit for you. These units are used for a really very tiny or very big drawing. This unit shows units the same as a scientific calculator.
Scientific units, also unit less and show values as exponents. But fractional units show values as fractional rather than decimals like 10 ½. 4) Fractionalįractional units are unitless the same as decimal units. Also, change the ‘ Insertion unit’ in inches or feet from millimeters. It is also based on inches and feet unit but it represents partial inches like 12’1.5”. 3) EngineeringĮngineering units are the same as architectural units. We can set millimeters, meters, centimeters, or any suitable units in decimal. They are not based on any particular unit. The base unit is the inch unless otherwise specified and this unit shows frictional units, so if you enter a number like 145.5, then AutoCAD will understand it to be 12′1 1/2″. 1) ArchitecturalĪrchitectural units are based on feet and inches.
