    MM MCX part into INCH based fixture

    Is there an easy way to pull MM based part file
    into a Inch based fixture file?
    or just Xform scale 1 millimeter = 0.039 370 078 74 inch
    after the merge?

    I want to machine in inches.
    Been doing this too long

    Opening the MM part file, should also load the MM config file, all units are set to MM, etc. etc,

    Just load the INCH config file, it will ask to convert the graphics image to INCH, say YES
    and your done...

    Alt[F8] is shortcut to the system config dialog. bottom of dialog

    Thanks, that was TOO easy, or is there such a thing as T00 easy? Yes I've been doing things the "old way" too long. However we built the Space Shuttle with punched cards, went to the moon with punched cards, finally ditched those in early 80's while on the B1-B job. Thanks
