Working Units The units in your preferences relate only to the current scene; you can change your current scene units without changing the default new scene units. You can now specify default working units for new scenes (File > New Scene > ˆ). You can specify linear units, angular units, and time settings. The units you specify are not overwritten when you open a scene file with different units. The first time you run Maya, the Default Working Units are set from the Working Unit values in your preferences.
