Thank you every one, but unfortunately this will change only the units
displayed in the plan, but any new entry or item modification stay in
Imperial units

It should be a simple matter of going into your defaults dialog box
and changing the "Primary Format" to metric "m".

This will change all existing imperial to metric units as well as any
future dimensions. Do you know how to get to the defaults dialog box?
click on the little wrench looking icon on the upper tools bar or you
can double click the dimensions tool and that will get you to the
default dialog for the dimensions.

Andy.
