I noticed that in the edit window in PCDMIS 4.1 every number is in mm. I have yet to figure how to change it to inches so every location i create defaults to metric causing me to change to inches. I noticed an interesting issue though. In my location set to inches its randomly displaying my form in metric units it seems. This can definetly cause some problems as my reports are reviewed if i dont catch it.

There is no direct way to toggle your program from mm to inches. I believe there is a script on the hexagon website that will do it.
From now on do this... When you create a new program it pops a window and asks for a program name. Also in that window is the option to create the program in inches or mm. Yours must be checked to mm. Change it to inches once and I believe it will stay in inches. The techs like to change it to mm when they calibrate.

inches or mm is not a "bug"
it is your choice on what you need
if your print is in mm, it is easier to program with it in mm to start with...
same with inches
when doing your tolerances, you can toggle from one to the other.....sometimes prints have mixed dimensions...but rarelyWhich one gets ridden today? MPH vs MPG..tough choice, both are FUN
