highlighted. To change a setting, click the dimension, and then click the
desired units.
Note You can quickly find an item in the Dimensions or Units list boxes
with the keyboard by typing the first letter of the desired item until it is
displayed. For example: To select the engineering force unit kN, type
the letter ‘k’ repeatedly until kN is highlighted in the list box.
