Custom unit types

Is it possible to add a custom unit type?  We use troy ounce (TR) for some things containing precious metals.

 

Or what about changing "in" to "IN"?

 

We're beginning to have our assembly drawings use the bom from Inventor rather than from our MRP system and these are the kind of things that would allow a smoother transition, thus more success.

I do not see such an option, neither in the settings nor in the parameters.

Hi Karl,

 

It gets tricky in the drawing. I don't think a custom unit can be easily displayed without using iLogic. In the model, compound unit is supported. For example, you may create a speed unit called in per second (in/s), even though it is not defined out-of-the-box.

Many thanks!
