Hi,

A Pro/E model having around 200 instances.
All the dimensions having the parameters with unit in inches. While displaying in drafting table the dimensions should be display the mm value (Model should be in inches). please check the attachment.
Which option I have to use for this conversion?

I know of two options off hand. One would be to turn on dual dimensioning by going to the drawing options and setting "dual_dimensioning" to either dual or secondary to display the metric dimensions.

Since you want it in a table an other option would be to make an equation that converts it just for the note. So you would have a relation for the note that says something like "mmnote1=ad3*25.4".

There may be better ways to do it, that is just what I can think of off the top of my head.
 
If your design is in inches, why is your drawing in metric?

Relations that convert the table values is the best way to handle it.

Hi,

Thanks for all your valuable suggestions.
I used relations with parameters for conversion. In tables Repeat Region and Filter option to filter out inches. Its working fine.
