How to convert from mm to inch in ProEngineer?

Once I was asked if it is possible to change the dimensioning in the 
drawing from mm to inch and backwards, and to convert the units properly at the 
same time.
 
Yes it is.
 
You just have to change the dtl opitons...
dual_dimensioning and dual_secondary_units 
 
...to the szenario you want to have: mm->inch or inch->mm
(you can also use foot,cm,m)

For example:
dual_dimensioning SECONDARY
dual_secondary_units INCH

Now if you had the drawing in mm ProE uses the secondary unit(INCH)
and converts it automatically.
e.g. 100mm->3,94inch
