Regarding the mm/inch, I don't think this is as simple as SW functionality
(Pro/E can do it, but just because Pro/E can do something doesn't mean it
should be done). The goal when designing is to create the Pro/E models
accurately. You may run into problems doing what you want to do. 2 examples:
1. When converting dimensions, I would think there could be potential
problems associated with rounding during conversions. Often, when working in
inches, the number of decimals implies the tolerance (not the case in mm
when following ISO standards).
2. Our company greatly frowns upon people designing in one unit and
converting. We made the decision to go with hard metric, Take for example,
10 mm radius, which is equivalent to .3937 inches. Try to machine that .3937
in radius. $$$$
My suggestion would be to try and get accustomed to the inches. There are
some cans of worms you are opening if you don't.
