I started the program in MM, but I want to change to Inch, how can I change the full program, including nominals? I know when creating a new program I have that option. But once the program is already done. Any help will be great
Another way to make changes to the program is to use the Copy and Paste Parameters with PC-DMIS 2014 and up.

Copying and Pasting Parameters
The Copy Parameters and Paste Parameters functions help you copy parameters from one feature or dimension and paste them to another feature(s) or dimension(s) in the
Edit window. For example, you can copy and paste the following:
Feature parameters, such as NUMHITS and DEPTH
Dimension parameters, such as OUTPUT, TEXT, and tolerances
Nominal values, basic hit values, and vector component values are not parameters; therefore, you cannot copy and paste them.
Copying a Parameter
Use one of the following methods to select the parameter(s) that you want to copy:
To select a single parameter, click anywhere on it or highlight it. For example:
To select multiple, continuous parameters for a single feature, click on the first parameter and then drag your mouse while holding the mouse button. For example:
To select a complete feature to copy all of its parameters, hold down the Ctrl key and then drag your mouse. For example:
Use one of the following methods to copy the selected parameter(s):
Press Ctrl+Alt+C.
Right-click and select Copy Parameters on the shortcut menu.
Select Edit | Copy Parameters.
Pasting a Parameter
Use one of the following methods to select the feature to paste the copied parameter(s) to:
To select a single feature, click anywhere on the feature or dimension.
