Copying measurement result

I know this is specific but I'm curious if the Fusion team can fix this. 

 

I often copy the result of a measurement and then paste it into Microsoft calculator, or I try to.  The issue is that when I click copy on the measurement result, it's also copying the suffix of the measurement.  Whether it be "in" "mm" or "deg" from an angle, when I try to paste this into the calculator I get "invalid input".

 

Does anyone know a way around this other than pasting the result in another form and re-copying the text?

 

Thanks in advance.✌️

I cannot be the only one that sees this as a problem.

Hi,

If you need the measurement for an action in Fusion, you can copy the contents of the clipboard directly into a feature menu (e.g., extrusion) and multiply it, add it to other values, or use it in the parameter table for equations.

Yeah but then you end up with a bunch of messy equations instead of a simple value.
