Change Volume Units to Liter?

Change Volume Units to Liter?

(OP)
Is there any way to change the volume units to liter? Searched all over and cannot find it. Thank you in advance!

RE: Change Volume Units to Liter?

You'll need to add liters as a unit. Open the units manager from the Analysis menu (Analysis -> Units [current display units] -> Units manager...); change the measure type to 'volume' and click New Unit.
Unit name => "liter"
Unit display name => "L"
Description => "liters"

The conversion equation factors you enter will depend on the base units of the current part. Enter the appropriate conversion factor from in^3 or mm^3 depending on your part. Addition factor (b) = 0. Check the "default unit" option, click "Add unit", and click "close".

Now when you issue a "measure body" command, the volume will be reported in liters.
