Units and Unit categories
The Catalogue Editor now supports Unit categories (e.g. Length, Surface area, Volume, Weight) and Units (e.g. mm, m , in, ft, kg) as Column properties.
In the future, the units are to be set in all ISD catalogues so that when they are installed in HiCAD, it is evident in which unit the standard parts are available in the catalogue. In many catalogues, e.g. in the new US standard parts, this has already been implemented, in the other tables this will be done with the coming Service Packs.
You can also use this option in your own tables. To do this, right-click on the column header and assign the unit category and unit to the column.
