Sorry no there isn't anything currently set up to do that without editing the value.

Here is a script you can try though, it will do the steps of editing the value for you (requires MoI v5):

script: /* Convert selected dimension to mm */ if ( moi.geometryDatabase.units != 'Inches' ) { moi.ui.alert( 'error - main units not inches' ); } else { var dims = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getLinearDimensions(); for ( var i = 0; i < dims.length; ++i ) { var dim = dims.item(i); dim.text = moi.ui.formatNumber( dim.numericValue * 25.4, dim.numDecimalPlaces ) + ' mm'; } }

To use it set up a shortcut key and paste in the above. Then select a dimension and press the shortcut key.

It will convert a dim that says 1 in inches to say 25.4 mm
