Most of countries use the "system international "or "SI" for drawing units, this is based on the metric system where all dimensions are measured in millimeters .Some parts of Europe still use the old European metric standard centimeters for drawing units.

In USA they still use the Imperial units (feet and Inches ) in all drawings.
