You can put the following variables within the <Dict> node of the EditorialConfig configuration file. For instructions, see Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig.

Find the actual values of such variables in EditorialConfig item in EdAdmin4, the Application Configuration > Client Applications, searching for EditorialConfig. The data is common for all titles in the system.

Should you need to specify different values of variables for different typographies, look for instructions at the Typography-dependent overridable variables.

"pt"

The global variable for the default measurement unit name, used when you enter measurement values in the scripting-based preferences dialog boxes, has the default value pt.

In case that the name of your default measurement tag style is not pt, but, let's say dd, add this line to the <Dict node of the EditorialConfig:

<Item Name="cPt" Value="dd" />
