 see that the current units for the example below is set to inches.
When you click on the “change active units” icon, this will bring up a dialog that allows you to change the active units for your design. Note, that this will not change the units on your other designs.
There is also an option to “Set as default.” For example, if you change your active units to mm, you can set this as the default, and any new designs you create will be in millimeters.
You’ll find default units in your preferences in the upper-right corner of the Fusion 360. Upon clicking, it will bring up a dialog with many preference settings.
On the left, if you click on design under default units, you can see the units you want all new designs to use as the default. Here you also have the option to specify default units for Manufacturing, Simulation, and Generative Design.
You can also specify what units your 2D drawings are in. When you create a new drawing from a design, you can specify what units your drawing will use. As an example, if you design a model in inches, you can dimension it in millimeters.
And last but not least, when you are in a sketch and are creating dimensions, you can type a unit after the dimension without having to change your session units. For example, if your design is in inches, you can type millimeters into the dimension, and it will automatically convert to inches.
Check out the following quick tip video to see this all in action.

In this trying year our exchange company RCI proved a dear friend to our staff and members.
RCI came through generously and promptly, salvaging 2020 for numerous families. Time is the very essence of what we provide – and what we did not have starting mid-March for what was then an indeterminate period. We knew trouble was brewing but the shutdown was sudden and thorough. RCI immediately offered our owners what we could not – time. Time to regroup. Time to be recouped. They let us know they would honor our outbound travelers though we could not receive inbounds. We had neither money nor inventory to make it up to them and they did not ask. In those early hectic days this was a tremendous relief psychologically, financially and scheduling wise.
Freed from that potential additional stress and strain, we contacted owners by phone, week by week, well into the summer season. We had to let them know we were closed with no guaranteed opening date, but there was good news to avoid losing their time. RCI allowed non-members and lapsed members to join and gave them exchange opportunities despite us not having space in return.
We have a recent widow with two April weeks who was not an RCI member. Between the sadness of the loss, and now the virus, she was not anxious to tackle joining RCI. It all seemed overwhelming. Despite being new to “banking” and “exchanging”, with a little encouragement from our staff, she got on the phone with RCI and got it done, on her own. She just spent two weeks with us in September thanks to RCI, on dates spanning her anniversary.
With help from RCI and the outreach from the resort she recouped all her time with relative ease in the very same year. And it’s worth noting, for those willing and able to travel, there have been tremendous bargains far below their typical credits or points. Even our new enrollees have booked very lucrative destinations at very enticing prices.
The hundreds of conversations our tiny staff had, offering a patient and knowledgeable guide through the process of joining and using RCI was a benefit to the owners and therefore the overall health of the resort. When you’re sequestered for months as some people were, these calls from the resort were often a welcome “pick me up” in a time when much of what you are exposed to is negative. Just a conversation with someone you know, or who knows your resort and wants to help can make a person’s day. And it appears that having time to ponder plans and staff communication leads to people thinking about their changing vacation needs. Despite an eight week closure and various uncertainties this year, both resorts are having banner years for resale activity. The resale function is another very important component of keeping the resort healthy.
“We’re all in this together” is a common phrase this year. By working closely with RCI and communicating with our owners, we were able to keep the resort viable, and even in difficult circumstances, not lose the time so many consider so valuable.
We certainly could have inflicted severe punishment upon Indian Lines of Communications from Naushehra northwards and were certainly in a position to advance easily a few miles from the Pandu over the hills towards Baramula.” Another military officer Major General Sher Ali Pataudi writes about the ceasefire in the same vein. As per him at the closing stages of the war the Indian forces were under heavy pressure at Beri Pattan and at that time a double pincer offensive towards Beri Pattan and Jammu aimed at capturing Jammu would have certainly cutoff Indian forces in the Kashmir in two halves and effected a recoil.
The ceasefire however was hastily agreed without sufficient inputs from field commanders and Nehru’s request for UN intercession was accepted. As per the terms of ceasefire moved through UN Resolution of 13 August 1948 and adopted on 5th January 1949 the Pakistani regular and irregular forces were supposed to be moved out of Kashmir while Indians could retain residuary forces necessary to maintain peace. This was a precondition for the plebiscite in the valley as per which the Kashmiris were to decide to opt for India or Pakistan. This clause of withdrawal of forces was exploited by the wily Indians to subsequently wriggle out of plebiscite commitments. This was the last chance of a military solution of Kashmir dispute that has bedeviled the relations of both countries till now. From then onwards the only plausible way the Kashmir cause could be supported was through support to Kashmiris on material as well as moral planes.
Pakistanis made another attemptin 1965 to regain Kashmir militarily through Operation Gibraltar but failed as India expanded the conflict to international borders. A near repeat of the same in Kargil in 1998 remained unsuccessful due to the widened Indo-Pak military imbalance. The wiser course for an enlightened Indian leadership would have been to court Pakistan for a mutually acceptable solution. The closest the both countries came to a resolution of the conflict was during Musharraf’s tenure when Chenab formula which is in fact a variant of UN sponsored Owen Dixon Plan which recommended a trifurcation of the state as per the demographic realities was being discussed as a possible solution.
Now after giving Kashmiris a taste of an autonomous status as per Articles 370 and 35A for nearly seven decades the Modi government is hell bent on revoking this status. The Kashmiris would never accept that draconian step and would rise in arms against this Indian betrayal. Mufti Muhammad Saeed of PDP-BJP coalition, the present CM of occupied Kashmir, as per Praveen Donthi, an Indian journalist is in an uneasy coalition with BJP and has no clout over the mainstream separatists, up in arms against the brutal excesses of brutal Indian Army and paramilitary forces. Kashmiris would never agree to a permanent partition of their state, Pakistanis would never agree to a sanctioning of LOC as international border, and the Indians would never agree to an independent Kashmir. Therein lies the wicked nature of the Gordian knot that Trump in a moment of levity tried to open for both countries through his mediation.
The imminent Indian attempt at revocation of Article 370 is fraught with portents of war and instability in the region. A visceral and non- cerebral Indian response is an indication of their frustration over losing the strategic space to China and Pakistan. The underlying aim could be to ratchet up tensions to involve Pakistan in a limited conflict with the objective to regain strategic space lost in the past few months and climb again on the bandwagon of US surrogacy. Either way the Indians would play with fire as the nuclear status of both countries invests even a minor skirmish with the potential to initiate a nuclear Armageddon. The war or even a near war like situation on LOC would certainly hurt the US interests by distracting Pakistan form its Afghan peace project. Indians might be provoking a conflict in pique over the recent US cold shoulder: it is for the international community to sit up and take notice of the looming crisis.

• Giggett & Sitril will start w. 2 Hero Points (as opposed to 1 for Natsume and Tamerius) for having been bolstered by seeing Natsume return.
Yeah I think I am good with lvl 3 upgrade, I went with fleet so +5 to movement, I looked at the ancestry feet and was not impressed with the choices. Good to see you back Nat.
And now Giggett will not find your hit points strangely miscalculated.
? I am not sure if this is a good spend of
