mixed units

I'm sure this is something realy dumb that I'm missing. I have a child assembly that when it is initiated comes in with meteric units, when everything else is in inches. Why would a child assembly have meteric units when the parent is in inches and the assembly itself is in inches. Very wierd, but I'm sure I'm just missing some setting.

My understanding is that assemblies will get the units set up from the Standard.iam file in the Templates folder.  This folder being identified by the project file.  So the Standard.iam becomes the base file for building the assemblies.  I have no idea how you would get one assembly in metric and all the others in English.  Hope this information helps in sorting out your issue.

It is very strange.

This is a part in the doorAssembly in side the parent WallAssembly. As you can see, the constraint offsets for the part in the door assembly is metric while the constraints for the doorAssembly in the wallAssembly are in inches.

 

When I open the doorAssy seperatly, the same part constraint offsets are in inches.

 

Very wierd.
