offset question

I don't know what is wrong with my Autocad 2004 , but I can't set the
units when I use the offset command. It just asume that is inches and
when I type the distance in feet or inches (',") it says it requires a
numeric distance.
It usually works with the ', or ".
Somebody can help me?

 

Sounds like your units have been changed to something other than
feet and inches.

 

change it

Which is why it is a good practice to work in a 1=1 unit in model space. I.E. 1
unit = 1mm or 1 unit = 1 inch or 1 unit = 1 metre or 1 unit = 1 foot or 1 unit
= 1 yard and set your dimension format accordingly.
