Changing dimensions

[ptc-5491326]

Is there a way to change of units of an assembly and all of it's associated parts at once? If you change the unit system for the assembly it does not propagate to the parts within the assembly. Thanks!

Yes you can do this, IF you are using Creo 2.0 M070 or later. There is a check box in the lower right of the units manager box. Below is also a link to the PTC support page about this issue.

Thanks James! but apparently this is not in 2.0 M050. Has anyone found a workaround?

I think you will have to change each part one at a time. I have never found any other way. If your company has a current service plan with PTC, you can update at no cost. It usually takes less then 30 min. Of course your company policies will dictate if you can or can't updated. I don't know how many parts you have, but I'm guessing it would be quicker to update then it would be to change all of the parts one at a time. Good luck.

Hello,

test the functionality on new simple model. This way you will find whether the problem is related to your model or to Creo installation.

Hello,

I guess that the source of the problem is the fact that your assembly contains two groups of models - for example: some of them are in millimeters and some of them are in inches. The only solution is to contact PTC Support and report the problem to them.
