Revert to ISO from ANSI....

Revert to ISO from ANSI....

Revert to ISO from ANSI....

(OP)
My question, (Strange).  When Solidwork 2007 was initially installed (a couple years ago), it was set to ANSI.  For some reason, everytime I start a new Part, Assembly or Drawing, Solidworks starts as ISO.  I have to go to System Options, change Dimensioning Standard to ANSI (from ISO), and units from MMGS to IPS.

Where do I go to set the DEFAULT of Solidworks to ANSI and IPS units (without using the re-install DVD'?

Thank you in advance.

RE: Revert to ISO from ANSI....

Set your part, drawing and assy templates the way you want them and use these for any new file.
