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.
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.
