I normally work in mm.  But I've a client that want's the modeling in inches.  Is there a file or project specific way to select a measuring method?

Hi,

 

Units can be changed when you start a project and then if you close the file and open it again it will remain changed, even if it's not the default one

For example if you got a file from someone with the unit as mm, and the default unit for you is inch, the file will open in mm even if inch is your default

 

Regards

Smallfavor,

 

In case it isn't clear, from the previous response, the setting can be toggled in the specific model file right at the top of the browser, where it says "Units".

I was called away and I missed the response.  Thanks for you help, but I still can't find what you mention at the top of the browser.

It should inherit from design the units of the model you bring in
