Convert Dimensions Macro

Convert Dimensions Macro

Convert Dimensions Macro

(OP)
Sorry folks, this is a repeat questiosn, but I've spent a half hour looking for the information and can't find it.

I was using a macro that converted all dimenisons in a part / drawing / assembly from inches to mm.  (or vice versa) We just converted to SW 2007 and got new computers.  Very nice.  However, I forgot to back up the macro, and now it's gone forever.  I know I got it from here, and I'm sure it's a very simple macro, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
I
f anyone could find it / repost it, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,
ejc

RE: Convert Dimensions Macro

Use "Unit Manager" from Lenny's website:

You can easily modify the .ini file so that you do not get the choices your company doesn't use.  My UnitManager.ini file looks like this:

CODE

' UnitManager.swp
' GENERAL INFORMATION:
' Units file must follow format below.
'
' Unit Name                Typ, Fra, Den/Plc
[UNITS]
"Inch (Decimal 2)",           3,   1,   2
"Inch (Decimal 4)",           3,   1,   3
"Inch (Fraction)",            3,   2,   32
"Millimeter (decimal 2)",     0,   0,   2
