doubt about measuring units

[bagarospo81]

Hi, stupid question I know...
....but if you want to make a drawing (so a table) in meters instead of in mm I have to change something in the settings of the config.pro?
I try to explain: If I create an object with the default size (in mm) and then the scale drawing obviously takes into account the measurement unit.
It is clear that I could interpret the number of the measurement in the sketch as if they were meters and therefore interpret for example the length 2 as 2m and not 2mm ... but if I take everything back to a table the scale does not take into account this and therefore I should bypass the proposed scale and report a written statement as it takes into account this passage.
example : for a length of 2 (mm) drawn on sheet a4 maybe I could adopt a scale 10:1 but if I wanted to consider those 2 as 2m I should actually say that the scale is 1:100 ..that is decreased by 1000 times.
There is a less far-reaching way to do things and for example to draw an object directly in meters or even in mm but then in phase of specific design that it is meters (...automatically scale x 1000....for example a length of 2350 mm read it already as 2.35 m)
Thank you.

it is enough to change the unit of measurement in the model and ask to "interpret" the values, like that if you have modeled with size 20 mm but should be meters, with the interpreter you maintain the value changing the unit of measurement; therefore the 20 mm become 20 meters

thanks for the answer but where I find this function "interpret"...that is what steps should I perform?
Thank you.

you have to go to model property where you find the model units. change units and create asks you if you want to convert units or interpret them

You don't need to change the unit in the model!

in the table put in the #drawing_properties
dual_secondary_units m
dual_dimension secondary
