UNIT CONVERSION

UNIT CONVERSION

UNIT CONVERSION

(OP)
Hi,
I am a new CATIA user. My customer's model is designed
in metric system but I need to make a drawing in inches.
When I change the units (from mm to inches) in Tool-Options setting the model updates and shows all dimensions in inches but my drawing does not, it is still in metric
system.
Thanks

RE: UNIT CONVERSION

Your drawing dimensions are controlled by the the Dimension Styles and Standards.  If you are using an ANSI Standard, look to the Nummeric Display Description NUM.DINC to get Decimal Inch dimensions.  (hint, it's on the toolbar with your tolerances and precision, titled Dimension Properties).
