By default, PowerMill uses metric units. You can change the unit system before any project entities are created.
Note: This guide uses metric (mm) units.
To change the default units before you start work, for example, from Metric to Imperial:
- Click to display the Options dialog.
- Select
Unit System
and click
to expand the tree to view available options.
- Select the Unit System sub-item. This displays the Unit System page.
- Select Imperial (inches).
- Click Accept to save changes.
Note: Changing the unit system automatically resets all the default values on the dialogs to match the selected unit system.
PowerMill does not convert the values between the unit systems; instead, it chooses an appropriate set of default values (metric or imperial).
