Change analysis units??

When using CFD I have typically worked in milimeters.  My volumes have always been pretty small as well.  For some reason Pro/E doesn't like the units set to milimeters for the larger system I have set up.  When I convertied everything to 'meters' it was happy.  The problem now is when I import the parts into CFD, they come in as milimeters.  The only thing I can find in the manual is to right-click the "Geometry (mm)" line in my design study. This doesn't seem to work though.  I get no pop-up menu.  Is there another way to change the analysis units?  Does anyone know how to get the units to import correctly in the first place?

 

I would prefer to simply change the units instead of re-importing as the rest of the model is all set up.

This was a recent suggestion that I sent in: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Simulation-CFD-IdeaStation/Change-Units-without-having-to-Save-out-a-S...

 

Basically, to change your units you will need to save out a share file and when you open the share file you will be able to change the units from the geometry line in the design study bar.

Note to those who do this....make sure your share file is without mesh.  Otherwise, the option to change units will still not be available.  At least this is the case still in v2015.  Nice shareware, guys....LOL.
