Wanting to setup Creo 7, so that when we login and can use either metric or imperial.  I can do this by having a metric and an imperial start part, I think. But how do I go about it when I start a new drg, If I bring in a metric format, it will bring in our dtl file, but if I bring in an imperial format, it will be the same dtl file......do I have to create a metric and imperial config and setup a mapkey to switch between the two, when required ?

The drawing setup file (.dtl) is embedded in the drawing itself and you can assign different files to different drawings. I would use drawing templates to be sure the drawing setup file is the right one for each drawing. You can have multiple DTL files.

Thanks Ben, yes, so if using an imperial part, would then use an imperial format, which would automatically bring in the imperial dtl file....similar for a metric start part, it would bring in a metric dtl file ?

but doesnt the overall config.pro have an option in there for the dtl file...so points to a specific dtl file, so this dtl file will be the same for both imperial and metric...I will give it a test...
