In SpaceClaim, macroscale unit systems are: m,cm,mm,ft,in. The minimum feature size allowed is 0.02mm. Microscale units systems are um,nm,mils. The minimum feature size is 1\/1000th of macroscale system. Internally all length units are scaled by 1000 between the macro\/micro scale systems to save large memory allocation it would require for the application to always accept small values, so the setting is fixed in the current session. Unit systems can only be changed between macro\/micro when no documenta are loaded. Because of the dimensions of your model, and the minmum feature size in SpaceClaim, you&#8217;ll want to be in a microscale unit system: um,nm,mils. Your application is currently in one of these units because it is says it&#8217;s in &#8220;small unit&#8221; system, which is what you want. You&#8217;ll just have to multiply all your mm schematic values by 1000 if you enter then in Material Designer in um units.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-371750","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Material Designer uses SpaceClaim as the GUI.
