Dual Dimension Unit Change

Dual Dimension Unit Change

Dual Dimension Unit Change

(OP)
Hey,
I'm working on a 2D engineering drawing on Solidworks 2009. After I finished dimensioning every part I realized I needed my units to be INCHES [MM] whereas I had them displayed as MM [INCHES]. I tried switching my major unit to INCHES but that just gave me INCHES [INCHES] for the drawing. Is there a way to change the unit of the dual dimension?

Thanks,
The Snowmouse

RE: Dual Dimension Unit Change

Snowmouse,

   How are you selecting your length units?

   If you go properties and then Units, you should see "Length units" and "Dual units".  Change the dual units to millimeters.
