Units of Measure

This enhancement enables Outfitting to store attribute data in standard units and perform conversions as appropriate. The system handles this automatically dependent on the units and also stores appropriate information with parameterised attributes to enable them to be handled.

A new dynamic UNIPAR attribute has been added to all catalogue elements with PARA attributes – namely SCOM, SPRF, JOIN and FITT – and to all design elements with DESP attributes. It is a hidden (VISI FALSE) integer array attribute (that may not be listed or queried) and holds the set of WORD unit values corresponding to the dimensions of the values in a sibling PARA or DESP attribute.
