Make Copying Results Unitless from Measure Tool

[Andrew2803]

...so Windows 10's Calculator doesn't blacks out by trying paste copied input with Ctrl+V.

(I wonder whether it is Windows or Inventor issue though...)

It is supper annoying that the measure tool copies the units string. Personally I only copy a measurement to paste into a calculator or in to something else requires only a number.

hi @pball;

I do the same, but how nice would it be if copying automatically exclude units?

I think it would be!

I contacted the Inventor team and they came back that this is actually a bug that affects users on windows 10. So there will hopefully be a fix for this in an update.

hi @pball;

Thanks for sharing the information, and your time!

Hope they fix this issue asap.

I am using Windows 7 and still can't copy the values without que units attached. I personnaly copy and paste in in the Windows Notepad app but it is a serious waste of time and a waste of screen.

If only there was an integrated calculator within Inventor itself!..

@pballIf this is a bug it must be a low priority one considering it's still affecting Inventor 2020.1.1

It really would be nice to just copy the number instead of either retyping it and risking transposing numbers or pasting into notepad and recopying from there.

This problem has gotten even worse:

In inventor 2021 the outcome is: 100,00 mm

In inventor 2022 the outcome is: Length {TAB} 100,00 mm

Wanted outcome: 100,00

Please Autodesk could you consider adding an entry in the "advanced settings menu" that gives us the possibility to choose outcome of this copy'n'paste action.
