I'm new here so please bear with me.
Smath seems to prefer certain units. For example it defaults to Watts over kilowatts units in the final answer when solving equations.
My question is: Can I change a setting that will cause Smath to default to kW over W, or N/m^2 rather than Pa when solving equations.
Thanks in advance.

Often, the best way to deal with units is not to carry units. Just proceed with the given Engineering formula and transform the result in the desired system. These two examples should guide as applicable to other Engineering works. Jean  Inst_Colebrook Pipe Data.sm (61kb) downloaded 145 time(s). Inst_Orifice Plate.sm (432kb) downloaded 87 time(s).

Work your project as given in its native system ... convert result ... something like this: Up the work sheet define the MW:=0.000001 Your project is in 'W', result=123456789 In the place holder of result, multiply/paste MW get the nice result 123.456789MW that you can round 123.5 MW

Does anyone know if this is going to be a thing? It seems that it would be in either the sittings file or the units file. Either way, it would be nice to pick default units.
