How do you do this variation in the customary units? It's got to be as
***bersome there because linear_tol_0_00 is a Pro/e system parameter, not
a
user defined one. It goes in the config.pro file which applies to every
file
created. And, if you change it in config.pro, it changes it in every file.
So, how are you customizing this? User defined parameters?
Anyway, relations, built into the part, would just take this value and
convert it with some factor and, at the same time, create a parameter that
would be used in the format so that any time you changed the value of the
customary units tolerance value, you'd get the automatic conversion to
ISO.
