Metric volume units missing

Where are the metric volume units in user parameters? I'm looking for mm3, cm3, and m3.

Hi,

1 l = 10^6 mm3

I'm aware of the conversion but litres isn't always useful when working with lengths of objects. It's like only including gallons and to work out pints you divide by 8, but both imperial units are listed. Or, likewise, only including m as a unit of length.

The addition of cubic units would be much better and saves possible user errors in conversion.

 

The same applies to several of the categories for user parameters. For instance there are no metric units for area?

I'm with you 100%.
Maybe @jeff_strater  or @Phil.E  ...  explain that it will be in one of the next updates.

There is no plan that I know of to add automatic conversion for length units to cubic units. As explained in this post, using notation you can create volumetric parameters using length units today.

@Phil.E OK, what about a metric unit of Area? That seems like quite a big omission.

What units are you referring to exactly?
