SolidWorks 2005 B.O.M. Units

[DCee604]

Hello, I'm fairly new to SW 2005 so bear with me. I have some parts made, entered all the relavent info in the properties. When creating a B.O.M. chart, the units are not appearing as I would like. I want it to appear in Feet & Inches, not to certain decimal place. Anyone offer some advice? Thanks in advance.

What are the units that you are using in your drawing?

Change to the appropriate unit and see if that helps.

Units can be set under Tools > Options > Document properties > Units

If the drawing units have no affect, you may need to check the units of the file the properties are created in (part or assembly). A few things, like the weldment cut list, work this way.

Thank for all your replies.
We've figured out the 'problem'. Basically, a while back, all the parts were drawn to the closest 16th of an inch. And then forced dimensions were applied. And that's not precise enough for us, as we now need precision to the 4th decimal place. I guess we have to re-draw all the required parts.

DCee604,
Do not redraw, edit the models and drawings.
