Pro/report - display units?
Pro/report - display units?
(OP)
Is there a way of to query the model or assembly member to display the units of the model.
Specifically I have a column in the BOM report that displays the mass of an item (pro_mp_mass) but I wish to display the units (lbs, grams, Kg)
Anyway of doing this?

RE: Pro/report - display units?
pro_unit_mass
unit_pound, unit_ounce, unit_ton, unit_gram, unit_kilogram, unit_tonne
Sets the default units for mass for new objects.

RE: Pro/report - display units?
I found some info and put this together and I thought that I would pass it along..
The part/assembly needs to have a relation (for example)
mass=pro_mp_mass
this creates a parameter of 'mass'
also in relations you must select the option to make relations unit sensitive
Then in the format put...
&PRO_MP_MASS (&mbr.ptc_unit.mass)
this will produce --- .10 (kg)
if the mass unit in Kg (set in edit>setup>units)
You can also add a report value to a assembly report &asm.mbr.ptc_unit.mass - where mass is a user defined parameter
