[Equest-users] cqange units

[William Lopez]

Hi Pasha, all
Since you guys mention this SI topic, what would be the recommended setting for the cad drawing properties?
1 Cad Unit =  ???          meters or centimeters


Thanks

William

Hi Zahid,

No, you won't be able to change units to SI in eQuest.   From what I know, the raw version of DOE2.2 can do different units but this has not been programmed into eQuest yet.


I have a similar issue when I work on projects outside of the US that are all in SI units.   As the modeler who chooses to use the program that can't accept SI units I have to do all the extra work of conversions so that I can use the program I want to use which runs in IP units....this is your task to perform the conversions, and double check that this additional level of work doesn't cause errors in your program through a conversion value...  So use extra quality control when you do this exercise.

There is a freeware conversion program that I like to use and keep open when I am working on SI projects for eQuest.  It's called Convert.exe.   Find one that you like to use and keep it near you when you are doing your take-offs.

Good luck, and this will make you a more well rounded simulator because you will have the understanding of the measure of both units for your project.
