If statement not possible with mixed units? 1

[Jim0914]

In the Expression statement "If(Angle>0)(dimension1)else(dimension2) the variable Angle is in units of degrees and dimension1 and dimension2 are in units of inches. I get an error because of mixed units. Why is this not possible? I want one dimension for a positive angle and another dimension if the angle is negative. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Any constants in the formula are interpreted as being in the units of the expression. It thinks that you are trying to compare an angular value to an inch value. To make it understand, you will need to specify the units on the number that you are comparing to.

Try this:

If(Angle>0[highlight #FCE94F][degrees][/highlight])(dimension1)else(dimension2)
