Put the canvas in mm

Post by gvannauw » Mon Jul 26, 2021 9:08 am

Hello everyone
A stupid question, but I can't find the solution
I have made a drawing which had the canvas set in millimeters.
I now open the drawing to do some modifications and the canvas is in centimeters.
I need to put it back in millimeters but can't find the right option..
Can somebody point me into the right direction please ?

Tks + b rgds

sorry, found that zooming in changes the canvas view from centimeters to millimeters ..

Forget that I asked :D

Please note that zooming only changes the grid density (space between grid dots), not the drawing unit.
