Units
The user can specify the units for options such as paper size, margin widths, and cutting allowances. The default units are taken from the Catalogue. They can be changed before the value is input by using one of the commands:
MILlimetre
MM
(a shorter form of the preceding option
)
FInch
(i.e. feet and inches)
INch
followed, in the same command line, by one of the options:
BOres
DIstances
to define the type of measurement to which the units are to apply. This sets the
current units
, which remain in force until reset.
For example, a loose flange allowance could be specified in feet and inches by the command sequence:
FINCH DISTANCES
LOOSE 1’6
Alternatively, values may be input together with their corresponding units regardless of the current unit settings. Thus the previous example could be replaced by the single command
LOOSE 1 FT 6 IN
without affecting the current unit specifications.
The current units may be queried at any time by using the command
Query UNIts
Units for dimensions on the isometrics are specified by the UNITS command. They can be queried by the Q OUTPUT UNITS commands.
