I'm looking for a quick fix to change both assemblies and the parts within from metric to inches.

Hit ALT-F R R

Click on units, choose your game and enable the check box regarding subcomponents.

I cannot find a checkbox regarding subcomponents. perhaps I'm a moron?

[creodential]

You have to click on "change" in the second line ("units)

I wish I had a "include submodels" button but it's not there.... anywhere that I can find. I have no idea why

[StephenW]

I'm on Creo 2 M170 and I have the sub-models option.  It's the first time I have ever seen it though. Hmmmm....must be new.

What version and build code are you on Kenny?

[kurubek]

CREO 2 but not sure where to find any other info.

Hit ALT-F H I

I'm on M170 too, so you might have to update.

[StephenW]

FILE - HELP - ABOUT CREO PARAMETRIC shows your build code...it will be Mxxx.   Mine is M170

[kurubek]

Please make it magically appear.

[creodential]

Beats me. I've tried it with the most basic Creo 2.0 license we have, no fancy features.

What version are you running?

[kurubek]

I have had this problem forever. But now its getting where everything is in metric. Took me 2 hrs yesterday to convert every single part from an assembly so I can build tools to assemble.

This thread intrigued me, so I did some research.  The functionality was enabled in Creo 2 M070.

[kurubek]

Thats kinda what I was afraid of.

Now for the awesome task of finding a way to upgrade

[dschenken]

If you have a license for Mechanica, you can use that to convert them all as Mechanica didn't handle mixed-unit parts.

A search on the Community should turn it up.

Got Creo 3.0 and the problem is solved.... YAY ME !!
