Creo Parametric Primer Cube and Strut

I am very new to Creo and this is my first use of solid modeling software. I am doing the Creo Primer Cube and Strut exercise. I have created the solid parts of the cube and the strut, but when I try to create the assembly it appears that the cube and strut are of different scales. The cube is very small, in appearance and the strut is extremely large, 100 times larger in appearance. I believe that I have followed the directions in the Primer correctly and I don't see anywhere in the Primer where it mentions anything about setting any scale factor. I am assuming the solid part creation would be scale factor of 1 or Full size? Can anyone help me with this please?

i think you have modelled the parts in different units, most probably in inches and mm

check in "File-Prepare-Model Properties" for the units.

You are correct. Thank you very much for the answer. I did not not select a unit of measure when I created the two parts so I am wondering how one was mm and the other was inches?

Update. Is it possible to change the units after a solid part is drawn? I went in to the solid part that was not in mm's and selected change and mm, clicked set, but it doesn't seem to be accepting the change.
