Hello ....I have a question regarding the configuraton of multiple units in Pro-E wildfire 1.
Background: We share pro-e data with our parent company in Europe who uses metric units (kg, mm, Nm, Cetc.) Our company, in the USA, uses all US standard units (lbs,ft/lbs, F, etc.)except for length, which we use millimeters also. We both use our own set of standards.
The problem: When we create a domestic version of apart created in Europe, the units are in mm, kg, & C. When we create the drawing, our format is reading the relation and parameter created in Europe, thus giving us a weight in kg. The same happens in reverse when the Europeans use our parts.
The question: Is there a way to create and toggle the two unit configurations useed by each company or write a relation or parameter that converts the European units to US standards so that these values will update correctly and automatically?
Right now we are taking the output value in kg,from the analysis command and converting the value into lbs.
Any help is appreciated!
