Description PeterM 2011-08-06 22:51:46 CEST 
Hello,

  This problem is very simple.  The text input for geometry no longer recognizes units.  For example, this USED to work:

:P WindowSize 0.5*m

for 1/2 meter.

Working around this problem is fairly easy.  One can just put everything in in mm.

:P WindowSize 500

Or do a global search and replace of "*m" to "*1000".


Best,

--PeterM

Just substitute 

       else if( !G4tgrUtils::WordIsUnit( word ) )

by 

       else if( G4tgrUtils::WordIsUnit( word ) )

in source/persistency/ascii/src/G4tgrUtils.cc
