This post from a few years ago was about changing the units in Frame Generator. Not exactly what you're doing, but I wonder if the technique can be adapted to make the change you want to make? Goive it a look, and let me know if it helps.

If it's BOM (Assembly) then you need to edit the family template.
If it's the Parts List (drawing) then you don't need to change anything, but configure the units in the Parts List.
Here's how: http://blog.ads-sol.com/2015/10/reported-length.html
Be careful that rounding with 0 digits precision will round the value lower or higher different than the actual length.

Take a look at the screen cast. You will need to create your own editable Family Table.
Also seach the ScreenCast for videos from my class at AU last week. Search for "AU2015 IM100025". It will show how to create/copy an existing table, edit it to make it your own.

Note, you can't edit a Table unless it resides in a Read/Write library. You must create a new CC Library, copy an existing Library in and the edit it. It must also reside within your Project File path as well.

You changed the Units for the PL and Run lengths as well?
I've never run the T & P module in feet before but the Family Table is where all the units and size are taken from. Odd, something I'll take a look at this evening when I get home. Still catching up on work from being gone all last week.

Try creating a new Style after the Family Table has been changed. Possibly the data from the Table might be written in when the Style is created.

After you have edited the Family Table, you need to create a new Style. The data from the Family Table is read in at the time the Style is created. I don't know if the Refresh CC will only update the fittings or pull in from the Family Table.
If you export the Style and open with something like Microsoft's XML NotePad, you can see the information for the ID and OD in the Style.

Don't copy and edit an existing Style, this still has the old Family Table sizes. You need to create a new Style and point it to the new edited Family Table.

Your Style is still in Imperial, you did change all the units values in the Family Table for Size and Length

blair,
Thanks for the video. I debated about posting one and should have. Yep, I changed the "L" and "PL" to be both be using units of "ft". Please refer to the images below for snapshots of my CC family and new T&P style. Would you like me to send you a copy of my CC library so that you can see if I manipulated the family table incorrectly?

Hope this helps and have a most blessed day!
Peace,

You can send me the files. I won't be able to do much on them until tomorrow evening.
