acciardi,
Where you're going to struggle with ug_part_convert is that I don't think that you can run it under teamcenter.
If you export all your stuff out of teamcenter and then convert it what occurs is that it uses the metric seed part which then no longer meets the requirements for teamcenter to re-import the data to the same item masters. It means that you'd need to manually reimport and link things back up again.
I'm not sure if having done this you're effectively able to rebuild the required links to all your assemblies using teamcenter, but in native they usually do need to be rebuilt.
It gets worse when you try to convert drawings since not only are they assemblies but a lot of information about the views etc. may be affected in the process. Certainly you would do well to test out a few of these different types of data in native first.
I could add that many people maintain other data like machining and motion data in teamcenter as well. Basically anything that you had with inter part, wave linked stuff in it or scaled units all risks being scrambled.
My advice is that unless you only have a few parts or the boss has more money than sense I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole. I would do the testing and estimate the time required to make the change then offer them the cost savings, since my feeling is that you lose little or nothing by leaving the bulk of data as is, or changing on a touch it fix it basis only when the next revision is called for.
The quick fix that might be enough to satisfy many people is simply to change the displayed units on the drawing dimensions. In that way you can have an inch unit CAD file and drawing but you can place metric units on the page. If you're not sure how to do that and wish to take the advice I'm offering then by all means post back, but you'll find the units settings under annotation style soon enough.
One other thing you might be happy to know is that you can work with a collection of metric and imperial parts together in any assembly at the same time. There are a few requirements to take extra care when you do so but the software is meant by design to allow that mode of operation.
When last we tackled this issue with a client we found that they had always set the selection colour of their imperial base parts to red as was the old UG standard. What we did then was to change the selection colour in the metric base parts to green so that as a site standard it was generally easy to discern one from the other. You can also include a units column in the ANT to help take care of this problem.
