Well when I finished sketches I would left click the file button at the top
of the page ...and apparently that file button uploads the documents to the
cloud and in the process converts the document to centimeters automatically
and no choice to the user

I was later informed that there is a separate hidden export button if you
left click the arrow tab next to sketches on the screen...and the hidden
export button will export the drawing in the dimension it was drawn in to
the local computer drive and side step the cloud conversion.

It's really overwhelming and overly complicated 😕 it took two days of hair
pulling and a phone call with a very good expert from India not even my
sales rep could help they really should just put all of the export options
under 1 export button... thanks to the guy in India I now have 5 test parts
in production.

I found that export would mess with the units. When I am finished with my sketch I create a new sketch and project the finished body. Then I export this new sketch by right clicking on the sketch and saving as DXF. This has worked better for me.
