Default units displayed in Mathcad

[hashbaz]

Is there a way to change which unit takes priority in Mathcad?

Example:

L:=10in
F:=5lbf
T:F*L
T=19300in^2*lb/s^2

The unit it diplays by default (in^2*lb/s^2) is technically correct, but not what I would prefer to see. I know that I can "manually override" it to show "T=50in*lbf" but is there a way to make this happen automatically? (I use torques and moments a lot more often than masses and accelerations)

Anybody?

There is hypothetically a way to edit the units XML file that contains the unit definitions, but I've never successfully done that. There should be Help File entry for custom units.

I tried to follow the V13 instructions and got to the point where I had to edit the registry in 7 different places and gave up. MathCAD does units wonderfully, but not nearly perfectly. I made up my mind in V13 to settle for "wonderful" and not hold out for "perfect".
