small iso threads on the model

[Bruce]

boys, at work they installed us pro engineer version 5, before we had the 2.
the type that came to us to install the program did everything very quickly, we had to almost set everything from us, but remained a problem on the threads, when for example I stick a thread from m68 jumps me out as diameter 2,68, evidently it is expressed in in inches.
I proceeded to copy the file "current_session.pro" in a new file "config.pro" and to set from tool/option the parameters pro unit lenght in millimeters, pro unit mass in kilograms and pro unit sys in "mmks" or millimeters, kilograms and seconds but the threads continue to be small.
Does anyone tell me what parameter to change?
Thank you!

I have seen that the problem is related to the "default template" that is expressed in English measurements.
is there a way to set the default template directly in millimeters without having to create a part click on "mmns part solid" ?

I responded 3 days ago to a similar question.

when you create a new part, you have to use a model with the correct units.
in this regard you have to make sure that the following config options:

template_solidpart
template_designasm
template_drawing

start part with the correct units.

if you have used wf2 without problems, you just have to start wf5 from the same starting directory (which contains the correct configuration files).

congratulations to those who did the installation work!!

quoto zimmy... it takes 5 minutes to do this right.
or if you don't want to, just give the right directions.
changing supplier...

You guys are right but it doesn't depend on me, I'm a simple employee!
the type in question has arrived, has installed it in a very short time and has gone almost as if it had another important appointment... what scandal!
only that the owner called him and apparently cannot return before next Thursday.
I set the config.pro as mentioned by maxopus, the values of "template_solidpart
template_designasm and template_drawing now point to config.pro, now in fact every time I create a new part or a new assembly automatically asks me what measuring system I want to use.
I did not understand, however, how to ensure that I am no longer asked but that I leave automatically with the measures expressed in millimeters, can you please give me an example step by step?
about version 2 the type did tabula rasa, uninstalled everything, I think it was not practical at all, mah!
Do you know how to ensure that the size of the pro-eng window remains at its maximum opening?
I set up from tools - customize screen - browser the value of windows width to 95% but all the times I open pro eng the screen size will be to 75%....how to do?

for the first question look at the attached document.

What screen do you use?
I don't know if the indicated option works on 16/9.

It is not a 16/9, it is a very normal 20 inch lcd, first with the release 2 I still had the full pro eng screen so I think it is a configuration.
Thank you very much for the example of the annex!! !

found... is a hidden option of the config.pro
just type: open_window_maximized and then give as value yes
I try tomorrow at work!
Hello and thank you again!
