We have a project which has been deployed using a mixed metric environment. In the Standard Preferences, the Nominal Diameter shows as imperial. Is there a way in which we can toggle the unit of display so that metric values are shown? I've tried resetting the Unit value of the property in the OpenPlant_Supplemental_Units_MixMetric.01.06.ecschema to millimeter, but I'm not getting any result. I've been able to create a new property in the PIPING_COMPONENT class (named DISPLAY_SIZE) and mapped it to a new column in the Pipe table of my spec which contains the metric equivalencies of the diameter and then edited the delivered NOMINAL_DIAMETER property to auto update based on the value selected in DISPLAY_SIZE. This works well but it results in two Diameter pull down lists in my Standard Preferences window. My attempts to hide the original property using the “Display Property Status” or “Display Options" custom attributes hasn’t given the hoped for results. Finally, I know that I can convert the spec from Mixed Metric over to metric using OPSpecGen and that does result in the pull donw showing metric sizes but as the project environment is Mixed Metric it renders the spec file inoperable for OPSpecGen. Any ideas would be very happily received. Thanks, Dave
