If you want to know how to do something in MicroStation, or if you've found a cool tip or trick that you'd like to share, you've come to the right place. MicroStationTips.com is a forum for MicroStation users and CAD Managers to share tips, tricks and how-tos. It is a platform for savvy users to share their bounty of knowledge with peers.
What I'm getting from what you're asking is that you converted from standard to metric, and now you're wanting it to remain in metric. I would think "save settings" in the file menu would work. Also I don't understand why it would take a long time to convert from standard to metric; if you go to settings/design file/working units there is no converting there is only changing "master units" and "sub units" (a little more user friendly in V8 than SE or J); or are you talking about existing dimension shown on a drawing? I would think that if you go to elements/dimension/units then set to metric and then go to file/ save settings it should remain in metric measuring units.
My Microstation Drawings are set to use millimeters/metric, is there any way I can keep this, but measure areas using metres (as It takes ages to convert each time and there is room for error when converting)
