Question
Hello! Iwant to see all diamensions in (MM) only of any

Answer
Sorry, but if you are making this basic an error, I would say you are not LEARNING AutoCAD, but poking around trying to learn it on your own, in an unorganized way. This wastes a lot of time, and may lead to your developing poor habits, as well as creating drawings which cannot be worked on by others, in a professional situation.

At the very first chapter of an AutoCAD book, you will be told how to set up a drawing.  One of the choices in setup is the units ---- if dimensions are coming out in inches, you have Imperial units, not Metric.

The answer to the question is --- type UNITS, select MM. You should create new drawings on a Metric template in the future.  Notice that if you have  a drawing created in Imperial units, you will have to scale it up approximately  24.6 for it to be correct for Metric.
