Title: Unit error exporting to PDF

Problem:

When a metric drawing is exported to PDF and the PDF is opened in Adobe, the units of the document are imperial. This prevents me from exporting my drawings with BricsCAD and means I need to use another piece of software.

I would expect that a metric drawing would create a metric PDF.

This happens for multiple drawings. Please see attachments.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. New drawing from home page, use a mm template.
  2. Draw a shape in Model space.
  3. Export layout from paper space to PDF
  4. Open with Adobe PDF viewer
  5. Use measurement tool – dimensions are displayed in inches.

This error is also present in V22 and V21 and is different from AutoCAD.

Have you used or tried the new V23.2 features and have some ideas or suggestions?
