How to change units in a prt file 2

I got this directly from "Gateway". You must open a command prompt window (PROGRAM-UNIGRAPHICS-UNIGRAPHICS TOOLS-COMMAND PROMPT).

At the operating system prompt, type:

ug_convert_part -mm|-in -[o s u uo x y] [-o <dirname>] <part_name>|-d [<dirname>]

Options in brackets are not required. Options separated by the pipe character `|' mean that you must provide either the option before the pipe or the option after the pipe, but not both. The first set of options, -mm | -in, denotes the units you are converting to, and are not optional. You must either use -mm to convert to millimeters or -in to convert to inches.
d
Sets current directory as the source

-d <dirname>
Sets the directory <dirname> as the source

-in
Converts to inch units

-mm
Converts to metric units

-o <dirname>
Sets the directory <dirname> as the destination

-s
Traverses subdirectories

-u
Converts UDFs (user defined features)

-uo
Converts only UDFs (user defined features)

-x
Exports the annotated expressions to a <filename>.exp_txt file

-y
Converts entire assembly

Lawrence Morauski wrote a program called Convert Part, which is freely available I beleive on the UGS bulitin board (newsgroup). You can also get it here It is an excelent tool.

The converter worked great. Now everything is in the correct units, just 25.4 times bigger than I want it!!

Thanks to both and Mr. Morauski!

Troach,
I found the same dilemma! However, I am working with unparameterized features. In my case I was able to select all, use TRANSFORM-->SCALE and then scale it back the 25.4. Worked like a charm. Don't know what you would do for parametric features unless you wanted to go to EXPRESSIONS and scale each expression by 25.4??

Good luck.

hmm, the link to UGCONV tool ( doesn't seem to work. Can anyone share the tool, or point out another location to get it?

Thanks!

...nevermind the above post. Link is actually working.
