HOW TO USE UNITS IN APLUS

APLUS is using Autodesk AutoCAD's standard measure system. Therefore it can`t determine which units are currently being used. APLUS have group of commands that work corectly only if you set proper units. These commands insert or measure objects according to current APLUS units, so it is very important to set them before you start to work.

STEP 1

There are two ways to set APLUS units. First method is presented below - you just have to select units you are using from APLUS menu. You can also set them with these commands:

• 
  AUM - change APLUS units to metres
• 
  AUCM - change APLUS units to centimetres
• 
  AUMM - change APLUS units to millimetres
• 
  AUINCH - change APLUS units to inches

STEP 2

Now you can use all commands which depend on units and get correct result. Here is example of such a command (inserting doors with D1 command).
