Inventor 2012 Changing Inches to mm

chris_96 · ‎09-12-2011

I know this has been asked before but I am not familiar with Inventor too well and I would love step by step Instructions on how to Change the defualt inches input to mm. I have the student version of Inventor 2012 Pro, if this helps you answer.

I would appreciate any answers.

Thanks in advance

When you try to import your file (suppose it is created by other CAD software) into Inventor, select the file and click Options... button in Open dialog, then go to Units group, click the dropdown and select millimeter. See attached image.
