Solution Details

         In general, to switch between the units in the schematic, we can use the command View » Toggle units in the schematic editor. We can also use the keyboard shortcuts V and U for this command.

But If you want to use "Q" as a shortcut, we can customize the Command. Follow the below steps. 

  • Go to View Menu » Toolbars » Customize » Click on "All" » Search for "Toggle units" » Enter the value "Q" for the "primary" field » Save.
  • Then go to View » Toggle units menu. You should see the "Q" shortcut near the command.

Please take a look at the short video and screenshot below.
