dimension units trouble / confusion

[nrollins]

Hello,

I have a part with units set to Inch lbm Seconds (Creo default).

I have a drawing with "drawing_units" set to inches in the dtl.

But shown and created dimensions both are in millimeters.

They are displayed with 2 decimal places, but if I go to the dimension's properties, the decimal places is set to my default "3"

Something is over-riding all of my settings. Anyone have an idea what it could be?

Thanks!

-Nate

Ha - found it.

In my DTL there is a setting "dual_dimensioning" that was set to "secondary"

I changed it to "no" and my "mm's" changed to "in's"

Thanks for reading...
