Metric dimensions on english drawing?

Metric dimensions on english drawing?

Metric dimensions on english drawing?

(OP)
I'm doing an ECN on an older part, and when I add dimensions to the area I changed, they show as metric. All other dimensions on the drawing are english.
I've checked the drawing options, and the drawing units are set to inches.
Is there somewhere else where this could be set wrong?
As usual, Pro/E's "help" didn't help...
I ought to add that to my signature!

RE: Metric dimensions on english drawing?

David,

When you checked the dtl file, the primary dims were set to inches, right? Check to see if secondary is set to mm and then the dual dimensioning. Maybe is set to SECONDARY instead of PRIMARY.
