After running the analysis, I go to the View menu, select Tables | Node Displacements, and select the load cases for which I want to see the values. The values are displayed in inch units. I want them in "cms" units. Changing the units using Tools | Set Current Unit doesn't seem to make a difference.

The unit system in which results are displayed on the tables is set using the facilities available under the View - Options menu. These are known as the display units. To set the display units for the node displacements, please do the following :

In the View menu, select Options - Structure units. In the category called Displacement, select the units you desire and click on OK.
