Change Unit using Designtable
Change Unit using Designtable
(OP)
Hi,
I am having a part file which need to be design table driven for various configurations. There is also a drawing file for this part file. This part is modelled in mm.
All the configurations were in mm. Now I need to add a couple of Inch configurations. I can some how generate a model by using a 25.4 factor. But I cant figure out what to do with the drawing for the inch part.
I need information on how to achive the drawing files also in inches when the part configuration is in inches.

Then drop them both an an assembly & compare the relative sizes.
Then stop thinking AutoCAD.
For your drawing... you'll probably have to make 2 separate drawing files... or use dual dimension units.

bmrao123 ... You do not have to worry about using scale parts to achieve correct sizes when using SolidWorks. Everything is drawn actual/full size depending on the units used. I have to agree with TateJ except that I would place the "Stop thinking AutoCAD" as the first step.

I need to have just one drawing that can be manupulated accordingly.
