Request: Units of Volume Based on Density Units (not Length)


Malcolm Crowe

Recommended Posts

Currently the units used for the Part "Volume" come from the units selected for "Length". We always use "mm" as our units for length, which means that the values for Volume in mm3 are very long (much longer than what we want to display in our BOMs).

Instead, my preference (and request) is that the units for Volume be based on the units selected for Density. That is, if the units selected for Density are kg/m3 then the units used for the Volume should be m3. Or if g/cm3 then cm3. There is some sense / consistency to what I am suggesting.

Alternatively, please provide a separate unit selection for Volume in the Units Dialog.
