Unit conversion issue

Hi, im having issues with converting my units. I went throught the preferences and changed everything to standard units but no matter what i do when i go to dimension things it always comes up as metric units. Is there something im doing wrong or is it a bug?

Where are you trying to set the units? 

 

The preferences settings I believe pertains only to materials units, and Fusion is internally always metric. If you want to change the active units shown in a design you need to do that from the Browser interface, units tab, here:

Changing the units in Preferences doesn't change the units in existing designs it will only change the units in new designs. As @Oceanconcepts points out for existing designs you change the units in the browser. The only other thing that might cause a problem is if you import a model, I just uploaded a STP file to A360 that was a 1" cube when I open the file in Fusion it opens in millimeters and is a 25.4mm cube.
