Question: Problem with units when multiplying 2 vectors

Question:Problem with units when multiplying 2 vectors

vector units multiply

In the past I worked with mathcad where it was very easy to work with units. Now I try to switch to Maple but I am still struggling when I want to implement units. In the simple attached worksheet I try to multiply vector a in [m] with vector b in [cm]. I get an answer in [m] but I cannot convert the answer to another unit. Right clicking allows me to change the unit e.g. to mm but nothing happens in the worksheet. When I use convert, the units are expressed numerical in cm but the vector still shows m. My apologies in advance for this simple questions but I find no way to solve my issue.
