Change unit

(OP)
I have with no success tried to record a macro that change the unit for the custom property SW-SurfaceArea@@Default@.SLDPRT from mm² to m² and the decimals to 3
Can anyone help me. It would save me a lot of time

RE: Change unit

You would need to change the units of the document, which would then change the custom property units.

If the custom property type is Number then you are stuck with 6 decimal places. That is a known bug. If you use Text, however, then you can change the decimal places.

To do all of this automatically you would need to write a macro.
