Custom units? (specifically milliter)

thomas_aathomas_aa Member Posts: 19 ✭✭
I'm creating a silicone mold, and as a first step I want to convert the volume of my part to ml (milliters).

I have managed to get the volume in mm^3 by using the Measure Value feature script, but after that, I have not found a good way to express the number as milliliters (or liters for that matter). Is there any way to use liter-based volume units? Custom units?

The solutions I have right now is to use a string (
roundToPrecision(#silicone_volume / (1000 mm^3), 1) ~ "ml"
) or skip the unit and name the variable with a suffix.

    Another option is to set your Document units to centimeters - then all volume calculations will be cubic centimeters = cc = ml
