Predefined Systems of Units
The Systems of Units tab displays a list of six predefined systems of units as well as any custom systems of units. You can select any system of units as the principal system of units for your model.
The predefined systems are as follows:
• meter kilogram second (MKS)
• centimeter gram second (CGS)
• millimeter Newton second (mmNs)
• foot pound second (FPS)
• inch pound second (IPS)
• inch pound-mass second (inch lbm second)—Creo Parametric default
Creo Parametric displays the units for the physical dimensions as follows:

For a description of each predefined system of units and its basic dimensions, see System of Units in Unit Conversion Tables. The Creo Parametric default, inch pound-mass second (inch lbm second), is not a standard system of units, and thus is not described in System of Units.
