--------------- 
Parts are metric but need CAM setup assembly to be inches.



Solution

 To create a mixed unit CAM assembly you will say NO to the question below. 


"Conflicting part units" 
"The part you are about to create has different units from the part it will 
reference. Do you want to change the units of the part you are about to 
create?"


So say you open a Metric unit part but you want to do the NC programming in 
Inch units. 


Open Metric.prt Go to File--> New--> Manufacturing--> Change Units to Inch. You 
will now get the following message.


"Conflicting part units" 
"The part you are about to create has different units from the part it will 
reference. Do you want to change the units of the part you are about to 
create?"


Select NO. Remember you are creating a CAM assembly in Inch unit using the 
Metric.prt file. If you say YES it will default back to the menu allowing you 
to change the unit to Millimeters in this example.
