Set oQuantity = Object.Add(Name, LengthExp, MassExp, TimeExp, CurrentExp, TemperatureExp, MolarAmountExp, LuminousIntensityExp)
| Object | Quantities Object with this method |
| Name | String Specifies the name. |
| LengthExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for length. |
| MassExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for mass. |
| TimeExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for time. |
| CurrentExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for electric current. |
| TemperatureExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for temperature. |
| MolarAmountExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for molar amount of substance. |
| LuminousIntensityExp | LongInteger Specifies the exponent of the basic SI unit for luminous intensity. |
| oQuantity | Quantity Returned object |
 | Note The parameters LengthExp, MassExp, TimeExp, CurrentExp, TemperatureExp, MolarAmountExp, and LuminousIntensityExp specify the Dimension of a physical quantity. |
The following example adds the physical quantity NewQuantity to the units catalog:
