modifying field values
in Other
Is it possible to modify the value of a field? Specifically I want to divide the value by 1,000 to convert form millimeters to meters.

Yes, this is explained in the Help.0

Where? I see there is a convert option in the field dialogue but this only appears to be available when selecting a dimension of an object not coordinates. For instance I want the center of a circle in meters but the drawing is in millimeters.0

You should have rephrased your initial question. But, having said that, you are right: it is not possible to convert the values of a coordinate.
Possible workaround:
Create a horizontal en a vertical line...
Use 2D constraints...
Use 2 fields that reference the lengths of the lines...0 -
On the same note is it possible to tweek the field result . If I name a drawing 12345-K I want the drawingname field to show only 12345. I have multiple drawings i the same file . K files are konstruktion and I want to have the Project no in multiple places without the suffix letter.

What you want to do is not possible I think. But you can add custom drawing properties and display them in fields. Command: _DWGPROPS.0
