Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
Check your document properties and your templates to see what they are set to.-

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
I have seen this when the document properties units are set to custom and inches are selected but the measure tool still shows metric.-

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
Set your file units to Inches in Tools > Document options and set your measure tool to Use document settings-
Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
My settings are all set up this way. I still see metric units in the preview window.-
Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
Chris will it be possible to create a video of what you see on your screen. Alternatively screen shots can be uploaded. Also create a sample part file showing this behavior nad upload here to check the settings.-
Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
I emailed my VAR, and was told that this issue is a current limitation with EPDM. There is apparently a request in to fix it. So for now, the metric unit system is the only unit system as far as the EPDM preview tab is concerned.

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
How can this possibly be the "correct" answer? All documents and templates are set to inches. EPDM Preview pane still shows metric units.

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
I am currently having this same problem...almost 3 years later. Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved?

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
4 years later and this issue is still active. We are on SWX/EPDM 2013. Has this been fixed in 2014? When I open a part using eDrawings (from the Start Menu), the units are in inches. When I use the Preview tab or click "View" in EPDM, the units are in metric.

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
2014, still stuck with metric. Stupid Jimmy Carter.
SPR426854 - ask your var to be attached to it!

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
I went digging with regedit to see if there was a setting in HKCU\Software\eDrawings. Nothing for units, but luckily there is one for Music! </sarcasm>

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
We upgraded to EPDM 2014 a couple of weeks ago and this issue still exist!!
The only "workaround" is to use the View button, which opens up eDrawings, then you can change the units in the measure tool to inches (which you have to do each time)

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
this is still an issue with sw2014 sp3 and epdm 2014 sp3 however it isnt an issue when previewing auto cad files for some reason. i wish they would fix this as this is very handy when you just need to check a dimension and you dont want to take the time to open the entire file. or your production staff needs to double check a reference dimension or take a measurement on the fly when engineeing isnt available.

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
Huh, I made a change to a part and saved which in turn converts the file to 2016. Now it measures in inches in the viewer.

Re: Measuring Units in Preview Tab
Thanks Bill for this suggestion. Updating it also corrected the units for me. Bill's reply should be the CORRECT answer!
