<DIV>I'm not sure in WF 3.0, but in WF 1.0 while in part mode, on the top tool bar, select</DIV>
<DIV>"Edit", then "Setup". When the dialog box opens, select "Units".</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>When the Units dialog box opens up, select the "System of Units"</DIV>
<DIV>tab, (if not already selected). Select the type of units that you</DIV>
<DIV>want, probably "millimeter Newton Second". Noew select the "Set"</DIV>
<DIV>button. Another box opens up asking if you want to keep the same</DIV>
<DIV>size or the same dimensions. If the part is really in inches and you</DIV>
<DIV>just want proe to convert it to millimeters, this is keeping the same</DIV>
<DIV>size. If the part was created with millimeter dimensions, but the units</DIV>
<DIV>were set at inches, then you would want to keep the same dimensions.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>After making your selection, select "OK". This should complete the task.</DIV>
If you want to change the units of the model follow appinmi's instructions.
If you just want to change the units in the drawings go to "Drawing Options", set secondry dimensions to mm and then selct to display secondry units only.
goosemonster:
In Europe we use Meter as base for dimensioning, witch means that mm should bee the first choice not sec...not to bee roude. So James2, you shold use the one i mentioned.
in pro/E partmode menu bar in menu EDIT we have setup option when we select this option then another popup window will be displayed...in that by selecting units we can change as well as create new units ..
