    Move Component - Coordinate/Snap/Move Box

    CATVBA - Product Description Field

    Hi, I'm looking for some guidance in refining my vba. It works like it is expected, however, I want to change a couple of things and am unsure as to where to go. I want the stock size of the Desciption field to read like this: 2.5 x 3.0 x 10.0, instead of 2.50in x 3.00in x 10.00in. I've kind...

    Hi everyone I'm hoping you can help me out here. I've attach a picture that I hope helps to see what I am trying to do. My global units is set to inches, because I am primarily working to inches. However, I am using components that require a metric designation in their part number. What I am...
