Hi all,
I need some help.
I am using Creo/Elements Pro5.0 ( I do have creo 3.0 but it is on a machine she currently does not have access too).
I am teaching my daugther Creo Simulate and she asked a question about understanding the values in the report. "She say's, she see the values, but no units are beside the values. As she reads the report, she said, "Where do I determine the units applied to values shown in the Status Report dialog".
Example, here is an example of a Status Report. I am asking the question to everyone as she is taking notes and to her, these vaues (numbers) shown do not have units beside the values and she gets confused and has to call me to do a desktop sharing with her.
Snipit of a "Status Report" below.
