how to change units in proe 5

[al204]

hello proe pros!
quick question, I

 

[magnusod]

Most of the commands previously under Edit - Setup is now located in a new dialogue box File - Properties e.g units and material.

for a more permanent solution I believe the setting in your
config.pro is "pro_unit_sys". Please correct me if I'm
wrong.

 

[kdem]

The pro_unit_sys option only works if you are creating a new, empty part. It doesn't apply when using start parts. Other options that work like this are the linear_tol and angular_tol options. There are others that seem to fall in this category but I haven't used them to say for sure. Anything that has what looks like a blue wand beside it is in this category.

 

[ljcasey]

Yes, kdem is correct. The config.pro configuration lines
for changing the standard start parts etc are below..

template_solidpart ..\templates\mmns_part_solid.prt
template_designasm ..\templates\mmns_asm_design.asm
template_sheetmetalpart ..\templates\mm_kg_sec_sheet.prt

Please note that you also specify mm or inch during installation of WF 5.0. This creates another config file e.g metric_config.pro if mm was choosen during installation.

A metric_config.pro contains the foolowing options

chamfer_45deg_dim_text iso/din
drawing_setup_file $PRO_DIRECTORY\text\iso.dtl
format_setup_file $PRO_DIRECTORY\text\iso.dtl
pro_unit_length unit_mm
pro_unit_mass unit_kilogram
template_designasm $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\mmks_asm_design.asm
template_drawing $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\a3_drawing.drw
template_sheetmetalpart $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\mmns_part_sheetmetal.prt
template_solidpart $PRO_DIRECTORY\templates\mmns_part_solid.prt
todays_date_note_format %dd-%Mmm-%yy
tolerance_standard iso
tol_mode nominal
weld_ui_standard iso
