Hi all.

When I change dimesions of a factory window, the units switch from "mm" to "cm". It appears in the schedules too.

Is it possible to block this behaviour? I need the units in "mm" only.

Hello.

Reparding Properties panel

This behavior is controlled by two system variables:

https://help.bricsys.com/en-us/document/system-variable-reference/p/propunits-system-variable?version=V25&id=16507925381044

By default, the values are displayed formatted in a way to be easier to read.

One way of working would be to set PROPUNITS to 0.
With this all values are displayed using the units set in the drawing.
However, the units symbol is no longer displayed.

Another approach would be to set LENGTHUNITS to use only mm.

IMPORTANT !!!
The variables above are saved in the registry and affect all drawings, not just the current one.

Regarding the BOM

You can select a column and format it - there are some column properties displayed in the lower part of the BOM Manager.
Among them, there is Units mode.
You could set it to User-defined and then, below it, select mm as Unit.
