Creating Units of Measure

You create units of measure to define the units used to measure capacity in UIM.

To create a unit of measure:

1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Inventory, then select Resources, then select Unit of Measure.

   The Model Entity Wizard appears. An icon for the specification type appears in the upper-right corner.

2. In the Project field, select the name of the project to which the new unit of measure should be added.

3. In the Name field, enter a name for the unit of measure.

   This is the name that will appear in UIM.

4. (Optional) Select a location.

   By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:

   1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

   2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

   3. Click OK.

5. Click Finish.

   Design Studio creates the unit of measure and displays the information on the Properties tab.
