I got this directly from "Gateway". You must open a command prompt window (PROGRAM-UNIGRAPHICS-UNIGRAPHICS TOOLS-COMMAND PROMPT).
At the operating system prompt, type:
ug_convert_part -mm|-in -[o s u uo x y] [-o <dirname>] <part_name>|-d [<dirname>]
Options in brackets are not required. Options separated by the pipe character `|' mean that you must provide either the option before the pipe or the option after the pipe, but not both. The first set of options, -mm | -in, denotes the units you are converting to, and are not optional. You must either use -mm to convert to millimeters or -in to convert to inches.
d
Sets current directory as the source
-d <dirname>
Sets the directory <dirname> as the source
-in
Converts to inch units
-mm
Converts to metric units
-o <dirname>
Sets the directory <dirname> as the destination
-s
Traverses subdirectories
-u
Converts UDFs (user defined features)
-uo
Converts only UDFs (user defined features)
-x
Exports the annotated expressions to a <filename>.exp_txt file
-y
Converts entire assembly

Lawrence Morauski wrote a program called Convert Part, which is freely available I beleive on the UGS bulitin board (newsgroup). You can also get it here It is an excelent tool.

Troach,
I found the same dilemma! However, I am working with unparameterized features. In my case I was able to select all, use TRANSFORM-->SCALE and then scale it back the 25.4. Worked like a charm. Don't know what you would do for parametric features unless you wanted to go to EXPRESSIONS and scale each expression by 25.4??
Good luck.

hmm, the link to UGCONV tool ( doesn't seem to work. Can anyone share the tool, or point out another location to get it?
Thanks!
