To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
RE: Inches to mm conversion in NX6
I agree with you. I can't set the component as a work part, if the assembly was created for different units and/or has components created in mm.
I can create a new component in mm (working in assembly environment), using the information and the math data from the one created in inch.
Is there another way for a faster conversion?
RE: Inches to mm conversion in NX6
Note that these limitations are the result of architectural decisions made by the team who produced the original tools which UG/NX was based on some 35+ years ago. Unfortunately, there are NO easy to implement solutions other then our recommendation that you work in a single unit environment (Inch or Millimeter) and simply CONVERT those part models which must be fully compatible to whatever units you've chosen (or been forced to use) as your default working environment.
