How to make FreeCad default object size to be meter instead of millimeters?

Hello,

When doing architecture with FreeCad your object size order of magnitude is more the meter than the centimeter. But FreeCad default object in Draft Workbench (e.g text) or Part Workbench (e.g cube) have a default size of some millimeters.

Is it possible to change FreeCad default size of objects? I found the default size settings for draft objects, but I did not find the default size setting for Part objects like cube.

Thanks,

PS: Ideally with a mode mechanism (e.g architecture mode, mechanical engineering mode) it could change the default size of all your objects

Hi,

Hi openBrain

Thank you for replying.

Edit->Preferences->General->Units does not change values but just the way value are displayed in the GUI. For instance if you use the US customary, the default cube size will become “0.38in”, which is still 10 cm.

Sorry, didn’t get the question correctly. You can’t. :slight_smile:
