Problem

Symptoms: Playing a macro (recorded or otherwise) gives error message "Invalid Command Parameter Value" for a command parameter using WP42 Units of Measure. Solutions: Place the appropriate unit of measurement after the number (12u). Setting DefaultUnits() to WP42Units! will not fix this. Causes: If the command parameter is a measurement and also has Numeric Equivalents available, and the unit of measure identifier is not attached (", i, u, etc) after the number, it will be seen as a Numeric Equivalent and not a measurement.

For example, BoxWidth(10) should be BoxWidth(10u) because BoxWidth() has Numeric equivalents.

System measurements set to 4.2 Units will not record the "u" after the numeric value set for a parameter. Without the unit indicator (", i, u, etc.) after the number, it is seen as a Numeric Equivalent, and will cause this error.

This will only happen with 4.2 units; all other types will include the unit indicator when recording. If no unit is indicated in the command, this error will be given.
