🎯 AutoCAD Properties Masterclass

AutoCAD show units in dimensions — open DIMSTYLE and use Primary Units to add a unit suffix like " mm" or " in" so dimensions display clearly. DIMSTYLE | Primary Units Entering 300 shows just 300? No m, cm, or mm? Fix it now: type DIMSTYLE, select your style, click Modify → Primary Units, set Unit Format and precision, then add a suffix (for example: space + "mm" or space + "in") and click OK. Now dimensions display with units (e.g., 300 mm) automatically — no manual typing required and a much more professional, unambiguous output. Quick checklist: ensure your drawing units (UN) match the suffix, update template (DWT) so new drawings inherit the setting, and review dimension styles used across layouts to keep consistency. This small change reduces RFIs, avoids scale confusion, and improves construction-ready documentation.
