rogle Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Hi Iv just updated to inventor 2012 from 2011 and the units have gone back to inches. How do you change the units so every time you create a new part it is automatically in mm. I have found how to change it in a current part but when I create a new one it goes automatically back to inches. Thanks Quote
jdits7 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 You have to change it in your template file, then every new drawing will start with mm. Quote
Lazer Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I have a full set of templates that I have made and work to, the default setting is ok but most companys will have different standards. Quote
rogle Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 We have our own template as well for our drawings with our company banner on but other than that we use the standards. The problem was that when I updated to 2012 the standards were americanised with inches so they needed changing to mm Quote
JD Mather Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 ...The problem was that when I updated to 2012 the standards were americanised with inches .... FYI - When the software was installed there was an option to set Default Units. Quote
rogle Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Ahh that's probably what was missed as we got an external IT company to install the software Quote
