I am trying to display the dimensions of a catia part in the Cat drafting sheet.(start-mechanical design-drafting). I get the dimensions to pop up in mm but I want to change the units. I have scoured menus looking for it and I can't seem to find the option. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I googled catia software +units, and got some hits that might prove useful. One of the first ones appears to be a discussion forum for the product, but you have to sign up for free to view the forums. You might try the same google search, and consider using this hit from it:

Also, I assume you've used the product's Help feature -- what search terms have you tried? units, mm, inches, etc.?
