Suppose you put seconds in an attribute that is a measure of distance. If you’ve tried to simply change the unit, the values don’t change, but they turn magenta. Fathom thinks you’re trying to convert between incompatible units. To fix the unit, you need to first get rid of the old, and then add the correct unit.

 

1.Delete the incorrect unit from the units row.
2.Press Enter or Return (so Fathom accepts the change).
3.Type the correct unit.
4.Press Enter or Return.
