Controls display in millimeter units but value in metres

Hi all,

 

Is it possible for control to display in one unit (i.e. mm) but the value is written and read in another unit (i.e. metres)?

 

If so, how can this be done?

 

Thank you.

Natively, no I don't think so. But you can just divide by 1000 when you display and multiply by 1000 when you write.

I typically just use the SI display style.  This way the little 'm' will be part of the displayed value and the units stay in meters.
