FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

(OP)
When I use Featureworks I can only get the hole wizard holes to recognize as metric.  Does anyone know where a setting might be that would force it to Inch?

Thanks,

RE: FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

Have you tried changing the unit setting to "Inch" before you start FeatureWorks?

RE: FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

(OP)
I tried to make sure the part file that is used for the import is inch.  Didn't seem to make any difference though.  I'll check the part properties after I bring one in though to check.

Thanks

RE: FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

What type of holes are they? (Clearance, Tapped, C'bore, etc.)
Are your default templates units Imperial?

RE: FeatureWorks Hole Wizard recognition

(OP)
The holes vary depending on the parts.  I've tried 4 or 5 different parts.  They all come in really well but the Hole wizard assignments are in metric.  I just checked the part properties and the units are INCH.  

I'm actually pretty surprised how well featureworks works.  Especially if you bring in the features one by one.  Works really well for simple cataloge parts and surprisingly for sheetmetal.  

Try it sometime.
