$
Description
Sets the value of a property in default units and can be applied in a script to any property that accepts unit values. This syntax gives macro parameters and default unit values which can be modified by the macro tdpref.

The macro unit allows you to define your own units.

Example 3. Default vertical and horizontal units of a frame
In this example, the position and dimensions of a frame are determined when using the default horizontal and vertical units:
tfpos 25$h,15$v,127.8$h,45.725$v
If the vertical and horizontal default units are set to mm, the macro above would be equivalent to: tfpos 25mm,15mm,127.8mm,45.725mm.
