Are US units correct?

abc*2.00 --> 2.00_cm

Thank you for that reminder which is useful if you know in advance that you want the variable to be stored as a _unit object.

What I was referring to was taking a variable with say a real value (2.0) then converting it into a _unit object. In this case, it seems you need to do the following:

Vars (enable Value soft-key) User abc --> 2.0
Units Length cm --> 2.0_cm

I forgot about the Value soft-key...

EVAL(abc) Units Length cm also works...
