I assume that this post may only serve as an example to others to not cut corners and make sure the units are correct before beginning, but is there some magic macro or program out there which can stop my nightmares.? Please someone say YES.! I know I can convert the parts individually, but the problems I would then have with assemblies and the attached drawings not regenerating properly has stopped me doing it. and it has grown from there.įast forward to today and I now have hundreds, if not thousands of parts, assemblies and drawings which are still in the wrong units. It saved me a lot of messing about and work at the time.

I (rashly) made the decision about 10 years ago to use a library of fasteners I had 'acquired' which were in the wrong units, along with some useful assemblies done by a colleague. I keep having visions of convoys of trucks showing up at work with castings on the back 25.4 times too big and then waking up in cold sweats.!!! It's not really been a problem so far as there's only me that uses Creo at my present company, but more and more I'm having to send IGES / STEP files to suppliers and I need to remember to scale them before sending them out. Now, I already know the answer to this, but it isn't making me smile, so I'll check to see if anyone has found a way around it.
