When ever i have a plate description either in my drawings or BOM the plate description comes in as half metric and half imperial. How do i get it to only show metric?

Hi,

it seems you use different units for plate descrition.
Please open Management Tools and filter Plate Name, here you can see the tokens for plate name on drawings and BOM´s. with the square bracket you can control the units. First Number is for Table in AstorBase unitOfDistance the Key number (3 = mm, metric), the second number is for Table in AstorBase unitType Key number (3= dezimal, meter) and the last one is for Table UnitPrecision (2=0,0, divisor 10). If you use no square bracket Advance Steel use the global unit settings, if you use the square bracket, you can control this seperatly for every value.
