Default typing in a number and converting it something else

also i would actually prefer to just enter in 15 not
15mm. I don't know if that will make a difference.

Thanks again,
Darrell

If that would work that would be great, however I do not
know anything about event macros.

you really can't do that type of math just using a

format.

Also, entering 15mm will make this a string and very

little can be done with
formatting to affect a string.

Do you want an event macro that will make the change?
