New Computer with first install of PowerSHAPE:
Run the utility program and choose ANSI as the stan
dard. If you run this program
BEFORE you start PowerSHAPE for the first time, it
will set the standard to INCHES when you
start PowerSHAPE the first time.
PowerSHAPE already runs in metric mode, How to fix
it:
Start PowerSHAPE, and go to the Tools menu on the t
op toolbar, and select login. A
form will pop up and prompt you for a login name an
d password. Type in ‘
admin
’ for the name
and hit enter. No password is necessary. The soft
ware will reboot in administrator mode. This
will allow us to access files that you otherwise co
uld not.
Close the active model.
Go to File>Delete. Delete any ‘NEW_MODEL_X_XX’ fil
es. You have to do this
because these files where created with the Metric s
tandard.
Exit PowerSHAPE.
