I have attempting to set up Design Checker for our group and I am not finding the area where you can change the units of measure from meter to inches. With this reading in meter and our text height,etc in inches it gives false errors when the checker is ran. I would also like to know how to edit the dictionary.
From the help file;
Set units when you create new standars file. For further assistance see the help file
To display the Welcome to SolidWorks Design Checker dialog box:
In SolidWorks, click Tools, Add-Ins, and under Active Add-Ins, select Design Checker 
and click OK.
Click Design Checker, Build Checks.
The Design Checker application opens and the Welcome to SolidWorks Design Checker dialog box appears.
From the dialog box, click to access the following:
Create a New Standards File. Build a new .swstd file.
Open an Existing Standards File. Browse to a .swstd file to check an active document.
Design Checker Help. Opens the help document with table of contents and index.
Design Checker Tutorial. Opens a tutorial that teaches you the basics about SolidWorks Design Checker.
Click Close to access SolidWorks Design Checker using the menu or the Design Checker toolbarin the SolidWorks window.
Clear or select Show welcome page at startup.
Tony,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have set up a .swstd file with all the correct preferences. We have a dual unit of measure for our drawings and the checker has been selected to relate to such. However the checker its self has a unit of measure unto itself, which is in meters, this is the unit of measure that I wish to change.
I have attached a screen shot to show the unit I wish to change.
Tony,
No that wasnt it I finally went to points and bypassed the units that were built into the checker itself, this has eliminated the problem. I do have another part of the original question, how do I edit the dictionary?
Tony,
thanks so much that is exactly what I needed!
Hi,
Please goto 'option' tab in Design checker and you can change the units

Koka,
I am sure that is the right area to change this at but when I go to the options the area with the units is not there. However I did find that under the checks tab at the bottom is Edit Check Units, this allowed me to change the units to inches! Please see attached image.
