If i have a metric program and report Parallelism, or Angularity, in inches Is the projected length still in MM
In the past i have reported in Inches, and i think the projected length in MM.
in the parallelism dialog box if i have MM selected and fill in the Tolerance and Projected length. If i then change to Inches the tolerance gets re-calculated to inches as i would expect, but also the projexted length gets re-calculated.
If the projected length is actually in MM in a MM program, why does it get re-calculated when switched to inches in the dialog?
Can you please confirm if the projected length is in MM if i report inches in a metric program.
I have attached 2 screen shots showing the conversion.

I fixed angularity so it works the same as parallelism and perpendicularity. The original fix in #233139 had overlooked angularity. Fixed in V44B.

See attached program which gives the following results
In a METRIC program i need to report INCHES, this is supposed to be fixed yet still needs EXTENDLENGTH in METRIC for Angularity.

Am i then to assume that any program created in V3.7, if the program is in metric and reporting in inches, i will have to manually reset the projection length for all parallelism/perpendicularity etc, to be in inches, as at the moment they are in metric?

This was fixed by PR#233139 such that if the dimension is in inches, then all values are taken to be in inches including the tolerance and the projection distance regardless of whether the overall program is also in inches. This applies to all the orientation dimensions (parallelism, perpendicularity, angularity) as well as coaxiality and true position. If the dimension is in MM, then all values are taken to be in MM. This rule applies to both legacy and FCF dimensions.
This fix started in the first V40 release version. The fix was not included in any V37 release version so if you have a program from V37 or earlier it was possible to have a metric program, but report parallelism or angularity in inches in which case the projection distance was still metric.
