Is there a way to toggle between metric and imperial with a key command?

Hi Guys,

I have somewhat recently jumped over to SU from autocad and there are still a few parts of my workflow that im trying to stich up.

Im curious if there is a way to set up a key command to toggle through metric and imperial without having to manually navigate to the Model Info Window?

I realize that i can input inches OR mm when creating lines, offsets, guidelines etc.

But im more leaning towards a toggle option for when im measuring/verifying certain things in this drawing.

Im designing a custom console, but there are a variety of passthrough cuts that interface to different components. And those different components have inserts that are both metric and imperial.

Id really love to find out that there is a toggle option for this, but seems unlikely based on what i can find.

Does anybody have a deeper insight into this?

Thank you

There’s an old extension called Toggle Units available from Sketchucation. You could try that and set keyboard shortcuts to switch units.

You’re welcome.

It’s listed in the Sketchucation Extension Store so it’s available. I don’t think it’s had a recent update but I expect it’ll probably work fine.
