New Part in Assembly, wrong unit system
New Part in Assembly, wrong unit system
(OP)
I have set units to IPS, and dim style to ANSI, but when I make a new part in an assembly, the units switch to metric.
Anybody else experience this? The dialog boxes are still in inches but if I draw a dimension, it's all mm. Very strange.

RE: New Part in Assembly, wrong unit system
The system of units is a property of each individual document, not a system property. For a new document (part, assembly, drawing) the properties are inherited from the template used when the document is created. There are different templates for parts, assemblies and drawings, and you can have different templates within a document type. For instance, we have a drawing template for each paper size that we use.
