      I have made a DC cupboard in metric units and saved it as a component, but when I place it in a new model from the component browser and go to 'edit options', all the sizes are in Imperial.
      Anyone know why this happens?
      The .skp file is attached

      Thanks

      Nick

        OK I have figured it out but it still doesn't really make sense. I had the units for the DC set to display as 'End users units' in the custom attributes, but despite the fact that my default model template is in millimetres, they still displayed in inches. Is this a bug?
        The only way it works is if I set the units to display in 'millimetres'
        Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this

          Just a note to add. There is a bug. DC units show as imperial if 'Display unit format' is unchecked in model info>units even if the model template is metric.
