this is from someone who hasn't really used metric since the 4th grade ... nearly 39 years ago :/
when I use an engineering metric scale on a Acad drawing and I use the 1:125 what does this mean ... 1 centemeter, 1 milimeter or 1 meter equals 125 meters ?
the bar scale at 150 meters measures 15 on the 1:125 ... that kind of tells me that this perticular drawing is actually 1:1250 ?
also any hints of websites where one might get a quick crash course / brush up on metric lingo and conversions :)
I am all eyes :shock:

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.
