how to change milimeter units to inches in HM?

Goto Tools-->Scale option, in selection change to 'Components' in x,y,z all scale option put '1/25.4' for converting mm to inch, click 'scale+'

Now all component have unit chaged to inch.

hm does not have any units, your imported geometry has units, so you could change your geometry's unit before importing or you could scale it after importing.

Hi,

Hexagon are right, normaly HM doesn't use units (except for solver typ NLGEOM, here you have to choose units).

So the simplest way is to scale the geometry during importing geometry.

If you geometry is in mm, then choosen the right scale factor in the import panel (import options). Maybe 0.03937 for inches (i never have used inches, sry). If you creating entities, then your inputs are in inches (always, if you say: my model use inches). And your geometry now have the right units.

1 inch = 25.4mm..Another way also more reliable that geometry scale..these scale is very useful for this purpose..Any other procedure did you have in your mind??I really appreciate your ideas...
