<h1>I wish to add units to a repeat region table where I have a BOM that shows the mass for each part. I want to extract the units from the part somehow (specifically the mass units).</h1><h1>The following excerpt from the PTC help (red highlighted bit) seems to suggest that it can be done, but helpfully doesn't tell you how to do it. At least not anywhere that i have been able to find so far....anyone know how to do this?

<h1>About Units in Parameters</h1>
You can assign units to new user-defined parameters of the
type Real Number. existing parameters are considered unitless.
Note: You
cannot change a unitless parameter into a parameter with units.
You can show units in the BOM and Pro/REPORT by adding units
to the report table. Parameter units for each designated parameter are available
to the PDM system such as Pro/INTRALINK, Windchill, or PDMLink.
Consider the following information on the use of units:
<ul><li ="kadov-p-CTopic-Text-Bulleted">
Units are not supported for layout and drawing
parameters.
<li ="kadov-p-CTopic-Text-Bulleted">
The system parameters as well as alternate and
reported parameters are derived from the current model units.[/list]
