[HELP] Dimension in 1/100 mm in SolidWorks

May 16, 2006 4 Replies

Hi All,



A customer make me some problems because he would work in 1/100mm and not mm (he would see 830 ant not 8.30 for a dimension !!!! ) But this unity is not a SI ( european )standard.



I have found a file swconst.tlb, is it a possibility to edit this file, to change the unit multiplicator factor to obtain this unit ????


Many thanks for your help !

Scale the parts by x100?

Thanks, but customer would the surface of the part too ! and it say that is not an answer !!!!

I'm happy !!! ;-(

Regards, Nicolas

Can your customer go one order of magnitude more, and use 1/1000mm? This would be microns, which is a built in unit of SWX.

Nicolas Rub> Hi All,

There is nothing in the SW API (as of SW2005) that allows one to make custom units like this.

Someone will have to say "no" to your customer. Better still if your custoer learns not to use this strange unit system.

Is this measurement system common in your customer's industry? What industry is this?
