Converting Saved Data

Question: When I save a box or pallet file in inches, why does it open in millimeters when I load it into Quick Pallet Maker?

Answer: The dimensions in the saved box or pallet files will be converted automatically to the units in which you are working currently. For example, if you are working in millimeters, Quick Pallet Maker will multiply the lengths by 25.4 and divide the weight by 2.205 to convert to mm and kg, respectively. If you want to work with inches, then you can change the work units through the Tools menu (when you are starting from box dimensions to create pallets) or by changing the default dimensions in the Preferences/Settings window. Under Windows OS, the Settings window can be opened from the Tools menu. Under Mac OSX, the Preferences window is opened from the Apple menu.
