model in metric drawing in english

[DarylWolf]

I model in metric but I want to make a quick drawing for the welder and it would be handy to make it in English or even fractions sometimes.  how do I make my dimensions standard.  I rarely make a 2D drawing so Im a little green on this.

thanks.

Daryl

Daryl,

Seems similar to earlier post Solved: Is there a way to use inches in a metric design? - PTC Community

Just change the detail option to show the secondary dimension value. That is the quick way.

This. Quick and easy.

Hi,

(Creo 3.0) in Drawing mode click File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > change in Detail Options row.

Click open button (folder picture), browse to draw_standards directory (eg. D:\PTC\Creo3_M070\Creo 3.0\M070\Common Files\creo_standards\draw_standards) and select standard_in.dtl file. Then try to create a drawing content.

That would be:'Drawing in Imperial'.

If the drawing were in English, it would be Metric.

Just saying...
