Change of units in document parameters does not work

m.ricoesteve — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 14:40:16 GMT

I can't change units in Tools->Document Parameters->Units. In Inventor 2023 I change the Units to mm. and when I return it continues to appear in cm. All time is cm. Possible bug?

Do you mean existing parameters continue to appear as cm? This is as designed, I think. But if new parameters appear as cm, then there is a bug or corruption of some kind.

Please attach here an example file.

When I open your attached template, I find that the linear units are already set to millimeter. I don't know how to re-create the problem.

Hi! I suspect there is no Standard.ipt template file in the Template folder. As a result, when you click on the New shortcut at the Quick Access Toolbar, Inventor creates a new part without any template (internal hard-coded settings). The quickest way to fix it is to go to Tools -> App Options -> File -> Configure Default Templates -> pick the standard and the unit.

Many thanks!
