Two UoM display sets are provided with the core delivered model:

  • Imperial

  • Metric

These sets are reflected in the General tab of the Change User Preferences dialog box on the Desktop Client.

Example

The display set holds the display items. Each item maps to and from an Enum. Depending on the starting point, the display set items map from imperial to metric, or from metric to imperial. (The above diagram shows from imperial to metric.)

Each enumerated entry in the unit of measure list has conversion factors to convert from the SI units for that list to all other units of measure in that list. In the schema, a UoMEnum contains two conversion factors:

  • ACNV - a multiplier

  • BCNV - an added value (or constant)

These conversion factors are used to convert the value to SI units. For example, the given unit (x) is multiplied by A and then B is added to that value to determine the SI value (y = Ax + B).

A unit of measure list may have an associated enumerated list that identifies the possible conditions for that unit of measure list.
