Units Sensitivity

Trying to get a handle on this.

Parameters can be set to have specific units. like kg, lbm, cm, or in.
Then in Relations, one can do math without needing to add conversion constants to the equations.

lgt_1 might be in inches
lgt_2 might be in cm
lgt_3 might be in mm

The relation lgt_3 = lgt_1 + lgt_2 results with lgt_3 being assigned a value in mm that is equal to the sum of the other two lengths after they have been converted to mm. Pro/E handles all this.

This works for model as well as feature relations.

What doesn't seem to work is when UDF is created. One containing a feature having feature relations that depend on unit sensitivity.

After inserting the udf into a model, a review of the relevant feature relations and parameters reviles that the setting for units sensitivity is unchecked for the feature that was created.

This is in WF3 m100.

Any body have an insight on this?
