Bom editor - feet inches (minus sign between) possible to remove?

Hello all. 

In the 2019 version when I made an external list using bom editor, with _length_ set to feet and inches, it would show in the list without the minus sign. For example  5' 6 1/2"

Yet in 2021 there now shows a minus sign. For example 5'- 6 1/2"

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off this minus sign? 

 

We use a software to parse through our lists and this minus sign is messing it up.

Hi,

 

In MT, filter minus, per the screenshot below:

Update defaults after that.

Happy New year.

If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.

Thank you so much!!!!

 

Spent over two hours looking for the setting in Bom editor and changing table entries in the databases.

Why would a setting for external list be located under "Drawing Presentation"??? 😰

Anyway I very much appreciate the help! 

And you too have a happy new year bud!
