Working with Units
The Diagrams application supports the usage of values with units. All relevant attribute values are displayed in accordance with the project settings for units.
Independent of the current settings for units presentation the user has the possibility to set attribute values or fill in forms with values in any units. For instance if a bore diameters are set to be presented in imperial units all bore diameters will be presented in inches. However, this does not limit the usage of values in metric units, 24.5mm, to set attributes. In cases when other then the relevant units are used the application will try to interpret the value entered.
To be able to properly display units in a shape annotation, a unit aware attribute must be referred to in the Text shape property.
Some cases when units are used include, but are not limited to, distances, bore diameters, positions.
For changing the current units settings, please refer to documentation for Administration of AVEVA Marine Environment.
