You can select units by using special templates, whe setting up a new file.
By default here with a German version, the template is called Norm.ipt and is in millimeters. And there are subfolders, too, for English or Metric setup.

I'm not sure if you're asking about changing a single file, or about changing templates?
To change a single existing part or assembly file, open Tools tab > Document Settings > Units tab and change units as you please. To change a single drawing, you will probably need to create some metric styles.
To change to metric templates as installed, Application Options > File > Configure Default Template... button.
Thank you very much! I had this same question and your answer was so simple and precise. Thanks for the support.
Attach your file here.
If you modeled using magnitude with incorrect units - changing the units isn't going fix the part.
ex, 1 inch become 25.4 mm not 1 mm
