Changing dimensions - is it possible to do 'interpreted' dimensions?

In Pro/E it was possible to change part units using what they called (I think) interpreted dimensions. For instance, if you were converting a part from inches to mm it would convert 1 inch to 1 mm - just substituting units. Is there a way to do this in solidworks? I can only figure out how to change the default document units which cause 1 inch to become 25.4 mm.
