When I open my Pro/E parts in Solidworks all dimension changes with the factor 2.54. I can't seem to find where you can change to the metric system in Pro/E!
Would be glad if someone could walk me through my little problem?

Recommended for you

Also try using a Different set of units in your solid works part that you open the Pro/E one into if you use a Inch Solid Works file it should import at the inch size then you can convert it to Metric and it should keep the same size.

For instance Go to your Solid Works settings and change them to Inch then try importing the Pro/E model and see if it comes in at the correct size.
