Yards is already in Inventor. Use "yd" for yards. You cannot use "yds", even though that would be more-intuitive. But it is there.
Also, the lbs vs lbmass is an important distinction for any of us that use the Stress Analysis environment or Nastran In-CAD. Autodesk has chosen to define lb•mass and lb•force explicitly, rather than use a generic "lbs". This avoids any and all confusion about whether or not it's a mass value (lb•mass, independent of gravity) or if gravity has already been applied (lb•force = lb•mass x gravity). This is something with which I have no qualms.
@EricSchubert-Symetri Thanks for your reply. I actually discovered yd by accident one day shortly after posting this. I don't know why I didn't try using just "yd" before, but I did just take a wild guess that ended up working out for me. Its odd that its not listed as an available unit in the unit dialog box.
I also discovered that you can define "Square" and "Cubic" units by the suffixes "^2" and "^3" respectively (I.e. "in^3" for cubic inches and "ft^2" for square feet).
