I have different meshes created in english and metric system which I combined together in Deep Explo. The metric parts were scaled down to english units.
 
However, when I checked the bounding box translation properties (in Acrobat) of the scaled down metric parts it is different from what is shown in DE.
 
What is the default units of meshes in Acrobat and how can I fix this issue?
 
I am trying to write a javascript sequence to locate the camera target to the mesh using the center of the bounding box.

My Product Information:
Acrobat 3D 9.2, Windows

If you're exporting from DE into U3D and creating the 3D annotation inside Acrobat, it will normally use the scene properties unit (which in DE you can find and change by right-clicking the root of the scene objects tree). You can override it during import by turning off the "pass through unchanged" option on the 3D tab in Acrobat's 3D Tool dialog box.

If you're exporting the PDF directly from DE then it should also respect that unit, but there's no easy way to tell after the fact.

Thanks for the quick response USVAR! I actually found a command in DE that converts the mesh units uniformly by using 'Bake Transformation'.
