Column units
- Don't show units
The BOM table does not display units for this column.
- In column title
if all values in the table use the same unit or can be converted to a common unit, all values are converted to that common unit. The unit name is added to the column title. You can configure the position of the title and the unit using the Title format property. Use <Title> to denote the title, and <Unit> to denote the unit. For example, the default title format is "<Title>, <Unit>." You can use "\n" to add a line break.
The common unit is picked in the following order:- A unit set by you.
- If the property is a distance, an area, a volume or a mass, and the unit mode is Best for all values, the best representation for the majority of the values is used.
- If all values have the same unit, this will be used.
- In cell
The unit name is added to the value. Value and unit display in the same cell.
- In additional column
The unit name is placed in a separate column.
You can set the Unit mode for distance, area, volume and mass values to define the units used to display a particular value. For example, if there are masses going from 1 gram to several tons, choose Best for each value to display each mass converted to the most suitable mass unit. To see all masses in kilograms, set kilograms as the user-defined unit for the column. Best for all values is the default.
