Heres what I'm trying to do,

I'm looking to be able to do my calculations with variables etc like I typically do. And prior to printing/publishing I want to be able to change the variables into their numerical value. Below is an example.

A:=1 kip
B:=A+2kip
B=3 kip

I want it to display as when I print it.

A:=1 kip
B:=1 kip+2kip
B=3 kip

Any method of doing this without manually inserting numeric values everywhere??
 
Use the "explicit" keyword. This is designed to do (show) the numeric substitutions as part of the symbolic capability.
