Hi Xavi,

this is not possible, because it makes not sense!
Why? Imagine, you have wrote tons of code like this:

BOX 0.1,0.2,0.3
ARC 0,0,90,90
HANDLEFACTOR 0.5
FOR i=1 TO 20
...
NEXT i

Then you Change the length unit from "m" to "mm"!
This change the MEANING of several numbers (the bold ones) in the script.
Now 0.1 mean no longer 0.1 m -> it's now 0.1 mm !
It would be a horrible thing to change all numbers in the script to fit the new unit!

However, you can do this with resetting the smt, and overtake all (see Change_dimension.png)

... but it's a good idea to decide the unit before start of Scripting :-)

Regards.

Hi Xavi,

if the user should be able to change the unit, f.e. m to mm, you could think about scripting the unit-change in the SmartPart.
Maybe a checkbox in the pallett and a factor to handle the change (factor = 1000).
Just an idea. For some objects it could be enough.

Best regards,
Martin Philipp
