Conversion Rules
These fields specify what change action must be taken when changing from the UM specified at the top of the frame to another new UM. Typically, the change action is to clear the reference when changing from a pallet or other reference sizing type UM to a UM such as EA, and to generate a reference when changing from EA to a reference UM such as a pallet.
New Unit of Measure
Enter the two-character code for the new unit of measure. This is the UM you are changing to.
Change Action
Specify the action to be performed when the first UM is changed to the new UM. The options are as follows:
 
0
No change
1
Blank reference
2
Prompt user for reference (Other)
3
Prompt user for reference (Same/Other)
4
Prompt user for reference (Blank Allowed)
5
Automatic reference generation
6
NRM and prompt user for reference (Other)
7
NRM and prompt user for reference (Same/Other)
8

When you have selected the change action for a change to this new UM, you can specify another new UM and continue to set up conversion rules. When you have finished specifying conversion rules, press End to move back to the Sizing Type field, and End again to move back to the UM field at the top of the frame.
