Combining Normal and Large Ranges

You can design a product that combines parts in large range and others in normal range. Normal range lets you create objects ranging from 0.001mm to 1km and large range lets you create objects ranging from 0.1mm to 100 km.

Before you begin: The design range must be specified to large range in Me > Preferences > Parameters and Measure > Design Limits.
