Changing units in tables and property editors

How can I change the units in tables and editors (or better yet, system-wide) from the default MW to kW?

Hi @smeloney,

You can indeed set system-wide display units! Click on the Home button (encoord logo, upper-left corner) and go to Settings → Units.

You can also learn more from the explanation in the Reference Guide here.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Will this setting be saved with the network?

Another great question!

These are User settings, so they will persist regardless of which network is loaded.

This is a good thing to keep in mind!

Units are very tricky to handle, and we do our best. We’ve found that, for individual SAInt users that work with multiple network files, the relative order of magnitudes of properties in those different networks are usually about the same. It occurs to me that this wouldn’t be the case for you if you are switching between the ENET39 and the network for your project. Whether this feature ends up being convenient or inconvenient for you, if you have some constructive feedback at the end of your Free Trial we’d love to hear it!
