How does the custom unit dialog box work?
You can use this dialog box to define new master or sub units in terms of the Standard Units. First choose the option “Define Custom Unit” for either the Master or Sub Unit definition. The line of items that appears can be read like a sentence. For example, the master unit in the picture has been defined as: 3.0 cu is equal to 2.0 Feet So one cu is the same as 2/3 foot or 8 inches. It is best to use whole numbers in the custom unit definition. If fractions are used the unit definition will not be exact. This is especially true if a repeating decimal is used, 0.333333 is not exactly equal to 1/3.
