Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

(OP)
Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5 even thought I select inch. I went through all my settings and set them to inch. I must be missing one. Any suggestions.

RE: Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

Click on the sketch dimension -> Style
Then go to the units tab and see what the setting is, and change it to what you need.
I am not quite sure where to permanently set the sketch units in NX7.5.

RE: Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

The dimensions for new sketches use the units that you have set in Analysis -> units. If an existing sketch was created with mm as the units, you can enter a value such as "3.14in" and the expression system will convert the value for you. The expression will show the value as entered, but the expression itself will still be in mm units.

If you want to convert existing expressions from mm to in (or vice-versa), you can use this journal.

I found the problem. When I created a new model the units were set to millimeters so I had to change it to inch. I feel kinda dumb. Should have known that one. Thanks for the help.
