In all previous versions of Inventor you needed to customise the installation to change the default Standards and Units for Inventor from ANSI and Inches to ISO and mm.
However in the new release (2013) this option is NOT included in the installation customisation, you set this upon starting the software. To change these settings in 2013, start the software for the first time and you will see the splash screen below, select Configure Default Template.
With the inclusion of Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2012 in many of the new Design Suites, there are more people starting to experiment with this product. We thought it might be useful for you to know where the Units settings are to help get you setup correctly.
- To customise the default Inch Units, go to the Customize menu > Units Setup.
