    Creating a drawing from a part

    G'day all,

    As title says I'm trying to create a drawing from a part and have managed to do that but will only dimension in inches. I can't seem to find where to change it. Part was modelled in mm. Solidworks 14.

    Thanks
    Regards Bob

    Hi,
    Tools/Options-> select second leaf: Document properties->Units. Select Unit system MMGS.

    Thanks PRKP. I did manage to find another way but your way is what i was after. I kept looking in dimensions thinking that would be the obvious place. Thanks again
    Regards Bob
