The “acadiso” and “acad” templates should appear in the resulting list of files as shown in the figure above (A). To open an AutoCAD template select it from the Start tab when first opening the software or find it by opening a new drawing (the Big A > New > Drawing):
Use the “acad” template when you want to use imperial units, and the “acadiso” template when working in metric units. Save time customising drawing units when starting a drawing by using AutoCAD templates. To convert units you should consider using the -DWGUNITS ↵ command or Scale tool. Note: changing Drawing Units within the Drawing Units dialogue, does not allow you to convert objects drawn in imperial to metric or vice versa. This is based on feet and inches not the metric system. Take care with the Architectural and Engineering length type. If you want to draw in metric units select “Decimal” from the Type drop-down list (A), and “Millimetres” or “Metres” within the Insertion Scale section of the Drawing Units dialogue (B). To observe or change the units of your drawing open the Drawing Units dialogue, by selecting File (Big A) > Drawing Utilities > Units
If you work in the USA, you will be using imperial units. If you are working outside the US, you are working with metric units. With a new drawing you always need to be sure to set the correct units. Tip 24 – Load Plot Style Tables into Other Drawings
