The UoM Conversion Utility is a tool for converting imperial part catalog data to its metric equivalent. For example, you can convert values in inches to values in millimeters.

This utility can also convert metric part catalog data to its imperial equivalent.

Here are some important points to remember about this utility.

  • The utility does not support the conversion of specification sheets.

  • The utility can only convert one catalog workbook at a time.

  • The utility processes all sheets in the catalog workbook and reports results in a log file.

Limitations

  • The utility does not convert metric files to imperial equivalents, unless you revise the delivered NPD Equivalence Rule workbook so that it has metric units as the primary units of measure and the equivalent imperial units of measure as the secondary units of measure.

  • The utility only converts dimensional parameters. It does not convert weights, densities, or any other unit-based properties in the workbooks. Also, part schedule thicknesses and generic data are not converted.

  • All data in the part classes must be in the same units. For example, all parts must be in inches or in mm.

  • Running the conversion twice ruins the data. The translator maps sizes regardless of the units or changes due to any prior conversion.
