    I have two parts. One in inches and the other in mm

    Is there anyway of converting the inches model to mm?

    John,
    From the Tools menu, select Options. On the Document tab select
    Units. Pick the units you would like to use either by changing the
    lenght units to mm or by setting the unit system to MMGS. Flip back
    and forth as often as you like. Also remember that when you enter
    values for dimensions you can use any units you like, for example in
    your inch part you can type "6.35mm" for a dimension value and
    Solidworks will convert it for you. Hope that helps.
