iProperties Physical Tab - Allow Resizing and Custom Units

iProperties Physical Tab - Allow Resizing and Custom Units

Currently the Physical tab on the iProperties tab makes it very difficult to read the General Properties.

The biggest issue is that the fields are too small. Allowing resizing of the window would fix this. 

In the example below Volume is larger than the box and you can't read the exponent, even the relative error is hard to read meaning you have to awkwardly select the middle value to see what volume is actually being displayed. 

Another improvement hear would be a way to select units for these fields. Assuming the part file is using mm Volume defaults to mm³ which is almost always a larger number than what will fit in the box unless working on very small parts. A user option to select for example m³ would not only help with the display issue but would also be more convenient for some users. 

The same is also true for the inertial properties which are equally difficult to extract from this window.

@Anonymous I assume you were on an older release than 2017 when you authored this back in 2019. Either way, thanks for authoring the idea.
