Material Properties Units in Material Browser do not default to Preference

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has noticed that no matter what Units we set in the Preferences -> Default Units, in the Material Browser all the units show up in SI.  If I am not mistaken they used to show in either SI or English depending on how we set our Preferences.

When I go to SIMULATION -> MATERIAL -> Manage Physical Materials, and I select a material all the properties come up in SI units. I have set in the Preferences -> Default Units -> Simulation -> English.  However, if I go to MATERIAL -> Material Properties, the Material Properties window does show the Material in the correct units (English), the one I have selected in the Simulation Preferences. Interesting! 

When I go to Edit or Enter a new Material Property in the Material Browser in English units it converts it to SI. That was not the case! 

If I am not mistaken we used to be able to enter and view all the Material Properties in the Materials Browser in the Units we had set as our default in the Simulation Preferences, in my case English Units.

I believe this is a BUG since the latest release.  If I'm at err, please let me know 

Thanks,

IK

I'm not sure I totally understand, but have you checked the selection at the bottom of this window (see attached screenshot below)? I think this is where the "Materials Properties" units are set.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply!!!

You are correct.  I can't believe I missed that drop down box. 

I did look at the "Preferences -> Unit and Value Display" but I guess after being on the computer for over 12 hours I missed it completely.

Thanks for the reply and Solution!
