So here's the deal. I'm doing the cell phone tutorial in Pro/E, and I'm at the part where I'm putting holes in the boss's. It says to pick the M2.2X45 hole, which I do. The problem is, somehow, the dimensions think they're in inches (aka, the hole diameter says 0.0807, which, if in inches, would convert to 2.2 mm, but in reality it comes out as 0.0807 mm). I've gone into my units and switched over to English, just for the holes, but it still comes out with a diameter of 0.0807 mm. I've included a picture of the shape, so you can see what I'm talking about. I assume it's something I'm doing, since I can't find anyone that's had a similar problem.

Thanks in advance.

You need to convert the part to metric, not just set the drawing dimesniosn to english.
