jiggly_jelloo Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I just had solidworks 2013 installed on my computer and I am working through some of the tutorials to familiarize myself with the program a bit before I go for training. I have gone through the part and assembly creation and they were created in mm. When I go through the tutorial for the drawing I am fine placing the views, but when I do the dimensioning, it is being dimensioned in imperial. I selected the drawing template that was indicated in the tutorial. So I am not sure why this is happening. Is there a way to change my units in my drawing back to metric? Thanks, Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Courtesy of your Solidworks Help file: You can change the unit system without opening Document Properties - Units. In the status bar, click Unit System, then click a unit system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
