Change unit of dimensional tolerance
Change unit of dimensional tolerance
(OP)
I am working on conversion drawing, where I need to convert all dimension from inches to mm. To change the unit for dimensions, I have managed by using annotation style. Dimensional tolerance are also changing but those are not correct. Is there is any way so that I can directly change unit of dimensional tolerance instead of doing it manually.
I am working on NX6 platform.

RE: Change unit of dimensional tolerance
Moving further I have another concern is , In drawing, few dimension with tolerance and few without tolerance. But while selecting these dimensions, I can’t differentiate these. This results in, it will apply tolerance to all dimensions including those don’t have tolerances previously.
So while creating macro, what I did is, put filter selection for dimension and select all dimensions by crtl+A. And now values are applied under tab lines/arrow, lettering and unit but avoided to go on tab dimension.
Is there is any way to apply selection filter to dimension with and without tolerance by using journals.
