Hi MindSet, sorry I don't understand what result you're trying to get and what type of edits you need.
The most basic thing to know is what you are going to be sending to your vendor, it's hard to give a solution when that is not known.
Can you show a simple example of what you need?

Hello again Michael,
The top dimension is what I need.
The bottom dimension is what I am getting.
Hope this clarifies; appreciate your help.
Many thanks,
MindSet

I have it on my KeyBoard : µ
If you have not use a Table character and copy past always after the Text : <> µ
or
My table gives : Alt + 0181 ( just Press Alt and write 0181 then release) you must obtain µ

Thank you Pilou,
You are always so kind and willing to help others. It is indeed a noble trait.
The µ symbol is insufficient to provide the appropriate numerical value in microns, …or am I missing the point?
Again thank you,
MindSet

Hi MindSet, when you're done and ready to make a Microns version output, do a Ctrl+A to select all objects and run Transform > Scale, at the first prompt for origin point type 0 and push enter, and at the second prompt for scale factor type in 25400 and push enter, does that generate the dimensions that you need?
You can insert the Microns units label on all dimensions using the process Brian describes above by going to "Details..." and modifying the Text value to place your label after the <> value.

In the future I would like to have some method where you could put in a formula to manipulate the dimension's numeric value but MoI does not currently have that function.
Scaling everything is a way you can manipulate the values currently.

Hi Michael,
Is there any way currently to edit the "master copy" of Details>Object properties>Annotation properties>Text <> to Text <> mu?
So the text of Dimensions would ALL have Text <> mu? Rather than editing each dimension by hand?

Hi Brian, you can select all dimensions and then go to Details... and edit the text value there and it will be applied to all selected objects. You don't need to select them individually.

Thank you Michael.
To mindset, Re: micron:
Did a little google search,
micron = micrometre = micrometer = µm.
micron = 1 X 10power(-6) = .000001 metre = .000001 meters
meter belong to one of the 7 classes of SI units
Just using µ alone means "millionth. (I am unsure of the convention of using µ, rather than µm.
Inserting µ in the Text field is just text to display. It does not "re-program" MoI.

I have answered to this question some posts above! ;)

Great tips Pilou! I should have read your post more carefully.
