kac Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have some parts I had to model in metric and wanted to copy paste them into my full project that is in inches and it seems to take the unit values and makes them in inches ie: 25 mm becomes 2.5". Outside of exporting all these parts I made then importing them is there a setting some where to retain the proper sizes? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Atkinson Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Did you import into a f formZ New Project already set to metric units in Project Settings ? I don't do this often, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 mac, formZ will keep models in their real world size. We did a test like this: - Create a 25mm cube in a metric (mm) project. - Select the cube and choose Edit->Copy. - Create an new English units (inches) project. - Select Edit->paste. - Zoom fit to see the cube. - Use the measure tool and observe that the cube is 1" in size. This is the expected result. We are not sure how you could achieve a different result, metric 25mm.fmz.zip english 1inch.fmz.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Seems to be working fine now. Not sure but maybe I was low on memory? I have 32gb on the desktop. Was really strange and drove me crazy trying to figure out why the parts didn't fit. I'll see if i can duplicate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
