And then we're going to set all that up as our imperial part of our tool palette. Now bear in mind, you can have different unit settings in a tool palette, and that's the kind of bit I want to get across here. So we're currently in our 281 design reuse tool palettes imperial drawing. Now, before we do anything else, we're going to right click and go to options on the shortcut menu.
