NX8.5 dimensions have changed to m (from mm), can anyone advise?

(OP)
Hi,

A curious problem, an engineer has carried out a save-as from an existing part file and started working with it.

But, all his new sketch and feature dimensions are being created in m, not in mm. All the earlier sketches and features in the part were in mm.

In expressions, it isn't possible to change units back to mm for the values he has added.

And this isn't happening for him with any other part file - just this one part where it has changed to meters half way through.

- is there a preference or option somewhere to change new values being created back to mm please?


Screenshots are attached, this is all from the same part file.

Thanks in advance, Carl

Analysis -> Units is where you need to go.
