Task Description
The task helps in Setting / changing the Document Units for the selected SolidWorks Files. - User can Set the units to 'MKS', 'CGS', 'MMGS', 'IPS' or 'Custom'. - When setting to predefined units, user can enter values against System Unit, Length and Dual Dimension Length. - If a value is not set then the same will not be modified. However, when 'Custom' units is selected, user has the provision to specify the values against all fields. - This task works with all SolidWorks native files. [.SLDDRW, .SLDPRT, *.SLDASM]
A comparative view of a model file processed using Change Document Units task is shown below.
