NX convert part units
NX convert part units
(OP)
In thread561-261407: Converting English to Metric (Sound like a "DURRR" question... maybe?) I posted a file that gave an overview of converting part units and finished with instructions on how to integrate that into the explorer right click menu (right click on a part file to convert the units). The attached file is an update; the old version would error out if there was a space character anywhere in the file path. The IT dept. of the company I used to work for kept us in line, so it was never an issue; where I work now is not so strict. This version has been modified to handle spaces in the file path.

I did some searching around and it appears the this type of functionality is no longer built into windows 7. The only work-around i could find was using a 3rd party tool such as FileMenuTools that allows you to manually set the File Type options as you could in Windows XP.
If anyone knows of a different way to do this that does not require 3rd party tools.

This "Convert to mm" command can be added to the Right Mouse Button context menu for .prt files on both XP and Win-7 without the use of 3rd party applications with the following single line command .
