featureworks-can default be changed from metric to english for holes?

featureworks-can default be changed from metric to english for holes?

(OP)
Recently I've been using the feature works to convert models, and have been getting holes coming in as metric, which is not preferable in most of my applications.  Can the default for this be changed so the holes come in as english?

RE: featureworks-can default be changed from metric to english for holes?

When converting the Models (or at the open menu) is where you will have to set the settings. The setting is set for metric, because of the way they were saved. With a STEP file you can use under the Options buttom:

1) File specified unit
2) Document Template Specified unit.

So if you Document Template is using mm then your converted model will have that unit. If you want inches then make a template that is inches. You must specify that in Default Template and pick that template that you just made. Then select Always or Prompt use/user... Document Templates.
