When changing units, model disappears

Creo 2.0

Have an assembly made of imported parts and when I try to change the model from inches to metric it disappears. I can replicate with by changing one part or the whole asm. I have also tried to convert units and interpret units and get the same results. Any ideas?

It is caused by importing models that are supposed to be Creo files (.prt, .asm, etc.) but were generated with something other than Creo. DO NOT USE THESE! Either use neutral files instead (STEP, IGES, etc.), or create your own neutral file (from this assembly) and reimport it.

Have a look at part accuracy. I think it can be inherited. If you want to upload the file, we can have a look. Use the advanced editor.

And welcoem to the forum, Casey.
