However if you have things with fractional units like the length of a wire or the volume of a liquid, you have to define a measurement unit. +The measurement unit represents a physical quantity like mass, volume or length. + +You can define a short unit for it (like m for Meters, or g for gramms) which will be shown, when a quantity of a part with this unit is shown. + ## Attachments ### Attachment An attachment is an file that can be associated with another entity (like a Part, Storelocation, User, etc.). This could for example be a datasheet in a Part, the logo of a vendor or some CAD drawing of a footprint.
