Details on the "Detect drawing unit <" Command

Information on the Detect drawing unit < command.

You can use this command to pick up the drawing unit using an object in your drawing, provided you know the actual dimension of this object (e.g. the width of a door). For example, you can determine and automatically adopt the actual drawing unit in delivered floor plans with incorrect or missing drawing units.

Button “Detect drawing unit <” in the LINEAR Solutions for Autodesk AutoCAD

After you have shown the dimension of an object to be used in your drawing by two points and then entered the actual value of the dimension in the command line, the program determines which unit is assigned to a drawing unit and applies it automatically. For example, if an object is five meters long, five drawing units are assigned to a drawing unit. If an object is five thousand drawing units long, the unit of measurement millimeter is assigned to a drawing unit.
