Horsepower units in catalog file

June 23, 2011, 08:04 PM

I am getting errors when loading a family with type catalog column:

Exhaust Fan HP##electrical_power##horsepower##,

The shared parameter came right form the Autodesk-suggested shared list. Starting a new project will set units for power to VA by default. Is it possible to drive these units (hp) with the catalog?

Exhaust Fan HP##other##, will give the units in VA. I would like to show HP units.

To answer my own question..... syntax syntax syntax

There should be no ## after the unit:

Exhaust Fan HP##electrical_power##horsepower,
