Hi,

E=2,1*10^5 MPa

but after entering the value, I can't define unit (apostrophe button has no effect). So I tried using = sign. After it I can enter unit but here's what I get:

Thanks, it seems that I can specify unit using apostrophe button only when the whole 10^5 term is highlighted:



Otherwise, this button doesn't work.

Just watch the video, these are easier ways to entering unit.
You can also use Insert > Unit from the menu bar, not shown in here.

Enter your number, when you are at writing definition either directly write mpa or press * for multiplication symbol then write mpa.

1- Double click to the Mpa placeholder.
or;
2- Press tab button on your keyboard when it is in the corect unit (mpa for this example)

If you had correctly done it, unit will shown as blue colored without any character before or after.
This is the easy, proper and correct way to enter unit with keyboard and mouse.

Regards
