Change Units in an IDW

[wilson12]

I created an idw and annotated all the dimensions in default to inches. Is it possible to switch all of the units from inches to mm at one time? If so, how?

Thanks

Maybe through iLogic.

Once you have placed dimensions the only way to change them would be to tag them all and RC and select "New dimension style" and change them that way.

The styles are setup through the template you choose.

Hi wilson12,

In the IDW, hold the Shift key and then right-click and choose Select All Inventor Dimensions, then go to the Annotate tab and look for the Style drop down box, there you should be able to choose a mm based dimension style assuming one exists. If you don't have a mm dimension style, you would need to create one first.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
