Issues when converting models and drawings from imperial to metric

Issues when converting models and drawings from imperial to metric

Creo 9.0.4.0 & windchill 12.1

We are looking to convert our models from imperial to metric.  We have legacy items dating back to at least Creo 2.  There are 3 main segments of the company.  @ of the 3 already use metric for modeling and drawing. One is still using imperial and would like to switch.

 

In testing models/drawings made in Creo 9, it was discovered that if a dimension was manually added to a drawing (addxxx), the tolerances did not change when the Model Properties were converted.  Also, GD&T does not appear to change.  Part and drawing DTL files exist and are working fine, if the part was created and not converted.

 

Aby ideas of how to convert they in bulk and not manually changing each dimension?  Changing one drawing at a time is acceptable, but trying to avoid the need to change dimensions one by one.
