1. Things to know before you start
☑ A new Measurements section asks you to choose your units and sizes before you add your first measurement card. Add Measurement stays inactive until the table has been set up.
☑ Each size becomes its own column in the measurement chart. The tolerance columns TOL(+) and TOL(-) are added for you.
☑ If your organization has saved size-range templates in Org settings, they are shown as suggestions while you add sizes. You can also type any size of your own.
2. How to choose your units and format
Step 1: Open your product and scroll to the Measurements section. You will see the Configure your sizes panel.
Step 2: Under Units, choose Inches or cm. The units are prefilled from your organization's default. If you choose Inches, also choose a Format: Fraction (for example 17 1/2) or Decimal (17.5).
If you have permission to edit organization settings and your choice is different from the current default, you will also see Use as the default for your organization. Tick it if you want new tables to start with this choice.
Step 3: Click Configure sizes. If you already have your measurement chart in Excel, click Import from CSV instead.
3. How to add your sizes
Step 1: The Columns & Sizes window opens with the tolerance columns already in place. Click + Add Column and choose Size column.
Choose Regular column instead if you want a column for free text or numbers, such as a comment or a how-to-measure note.
Step 2: Click into the new row. A list of size ranges opens. Click a single size to add it, or click Add All to add the whole range at once. To add a size that is not in the list, type it and press Enter.
Step 3: Each size is added as its own column. The size set is named for you from the first and last size (for example S-L).
Step 4: Click Save. Your sizes now appear as columns in the measurement chart, and Add Measurement is active.
4. How the sample size works
The sample size is the size your sample is made in. You no longer pick it in Product settings; it is set inside the Columns & Sizes window.
When you add sizes, the middle size is picked for you automatically and marked with a Sample tag. To change it, open the Sample size dropdown at the top right and choose another size.
In the chart, size columns are shaded. The sample size column is a little darker and its name is shown in green.
5. How to manage your columns
You can come back and change your columns at any time. Click the columns icon in the Measurements section header to open the Columns & Sizes window.
Every row has the same controls:
- Drag handle (=): drag a row up or down to change the column order.
- Column name: click the name to rename the column.
- Ruler icon: turns a regular column into a size column, or a size column back into a regular column.
- Eye icon: hides the column from the chart. Nothing is deleted, and you can show it again later.
- Trash icon: deletes the column. You will be asked to confirm, because the column and its data are deleted permanently.
Click Save to apply your changes. If you close the window with the X instead, your changes are not saved.
6. How to change units or format later
Step 1: Click the table options menu (the three dots in the Measurements section header) and hover over Units and format.
Step 2: Choose cm, or hover over Inches and choose Fraction or Decimal. A check mark shows the current choice. The change is applied straight away.
If your chart already has values and you switch between inches and cm, PLMBR asks you to confirm first. Only the size values are converted. Tolerances stay exactly as you entered them. Click Convert to go ahead, or Cancel to keep everything as it is.
Switching between Fraction and Decimal only changes how inches are shown, so it never asks you to confirm.
7. Import and export
Import from CSV and Export as CSV are in the same table options menu.
☑ Import from CSV is only available while the section is empty.
☑ Export as CSV becomes available once the chart has data, and downloads the chart as a file.
