Use SI-units and prefix in Creo Parametric

Use SI-units and prefix in Creo Parametric

Today, SI-based devices and prefixes are not in use.
See the example in the attached picture.
Suggestion:

Change MM^2 to mm²

Change MM^3 to mm³
Change MM to mm
Change KILOGRAM / MM ^ 3 to kilogram/mm³ or kg/mm³
and so on.

M= mega = 1 000 000

m= milli = 0.001

This is a quite big issue for engineers from whole world outside United states.

YES, metric nomenclature is lowercase, per standards.

PTC make your system conform to industry and national standards!!!
