Project Units

You can specify the display format of various quantities in a project. What you specify affects the look of
quantities on the screen and in a printout. You can format data for informational or presentation purposes.
Project units are grouped by discipline, such as common, structural, or electrical. When you change the
discipline, different unit types are available. In the Project Units dialog, each unit type has a preview of the
display format. For example, length might have a display format of 1' 5 1/2".
NOTE The actual display of editable values that affect the size of the model may be different. For example, you

the drawing area, it may show a value that has fractional inches.
