That’s an interesting question @bb-user

Have you considered adding a couple of custom columns with a conversion factor and a formula to apply the factor to the metric measurement for conversion?

I’d expect @doug mclean might have some thoughts on this one as he works with both metric and imperial measurements on a regular basis.

I don’t know how to do that..

To confirm my understanding, all the dimensions on the printed drawing are in metric, and you’re converting each one manually? I know it would be tedious to do markup measurement for each of the already dimensioned elements, but I feel like it would be faster than the math to convert them. If they are already Bluebeam measurements, you can change the unit of measure to feet & inches, and not have to redo anything….

on my printed document the scale of each drawing section is different. So if a measurement is 60 MM in one view I have to make another viewpoint scaled area for a different area. Which is the same as in Imperial. But I was looking for a way just set the scale. I think i got it on normal views It might say 1:2 so I do a 1mm = 2mm and it works. Just harder on 3d items.

Learned something here @troy-degroot ! I hadn’t really thought of it before, but just because the scale of the drawing is Metric, the tool can measure in Imperial. That’s pretty slick.

For @bb-user if you have already applied markups using tools that measure in Metric units, but you are looking for Imperial values you could select all of your markups at once and change the units that each type of measurement is displayed in once, for all of the measurements.

Hope this helps. 😎

They made this available in 18.1 or something.

I quite often swap between the two @DavidCutler when I look at room sizes in houses. I use feet and inches when I look at the actual size of the room, the door sizes, etc. but when it comes to measuring things like skirting boards (base boards?), architraves, etc. then I do that in metres.
I guess that’s what comes from doing a Carpentry & Joinery apprenticeship in the late 80’s!
