Change units in Visio Online to metric / millimetres

I couldn't find out how to change this either, however...

I grabbed an old Visio file from a few years ago that was in cm and when I opened it it used cm, so I

1. saved a new copy of the cm doc
2. insert a new blank page
3. deleted all the pages except the new one

save this as my "template"

If I can find one that is in mm I can do the same and have a mm one.

Absolute pain, and an annoying work around but it works.

I can't find how to change it at all. That article was no help as there as no "Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher" in Visio for the Web:

Overview of Visio for the web (microsoft.com)

Maybe because, like me, he is using a Mac and has no option but to use a substandard version.

I can see no way of changing units in the web-based app, either.

Hi Reuben_A,

I'm Daniel and I'd be happy to help you out with your question.

Not sure but Visio online may have some limitations. But here's how to change the measurement units in newer versions of Visio

1. On the Design tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher.
2. Click the Page Properties tab. In the Measurement Units list, select the units you want, and then click OK.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best Regards,

Hi Reuben,

Can you explain further please? Do you mean the millimeters unit can't be selected or greyed out on the list?

Perhaps a screenshot of your measurement units in Visio.

If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best Regards,

Daniel
