Hi Al, or also if you happen to know for sure that a space character is actually a valid units label in either of those labeling systems, let me know if that is actually the case so I can get that to be recognized.

[MIL12] is:
Abbreviations for Use on Drawings, Specifications, Standards, and in Technical Documents
(MIL-STD-12D), U.S. Department of Defense, May 1981.


And [IEE260] is:
IEEE Standard Letter Symbols for Units of Measurement (ANSI/IEEE Std 260),
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1978.


But those are all about abbreviations and letter symbols for different units - it seems pretty unlikely that a blank space character would be listed in either of them as a type of unit system abbreviation.

Hi Al - for the next v3 beta I've got it tuned up now so that it will ignore any problem in parsing the units instead of letting that derail the entire import. So in the next v3 beta this file will import again.

Thanks for supplying a simple example file for testing with.

Hello to all,

It does import fine into ViaCAD 2D/3D v8:

Michael,

Thanks for looking at this. You are correct that the "blank" units should not be there. I should have caught that and I can force it to be right. When I do this it imports fine in V3.

Al
