Drawing sheet is displaying mm, sketch is displaying inches?!

I've already set my profile to default using mm. Why then is the sketch showing in inches?! I want the sketch and my drawing, in fact everything, to show in mm.

    There is a global setting for units in your account settings and there is also a workspace setting within a document.

    In the top left will be the symbol for the three bars next to the Onshape logo. Click that and go to workspace units. You can change to whichever units works best for what you are doing with that document at that time. Very robust when working with mixed units or unit conversions.

    The global setting controls newly created documents and the workspace units setting is a per-document control.

    It could be that the document was created in imperial or switched to imperial at some point, but its very easy to change that setting
