As far as I know, the proper way to typeset values and dimensions is to use
units package. When you want to write 1 mm, you use: \unit[1]{mm}.
In Lyx, if I select that expression and press Ctrl+M to convert it to a
formula, I works perfectly. But if I start math mode first by pressing
Ctrl+M and type \unit[... it does not seem to work.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?
Thanks

You should enter \unitone or \unittwo...
To get 1 mm, enter \unittwo and insert 1 in the first box and mm
in the second box.

To get "1 mm", enter "\unittwo" and insert "1" in the first box and "mm"
in the second box.

You don't need this package, using this ore not is your choice. The Math manual, that you find in
LyX's Help menu, tells you at the end of sec. 8.1 how units are typeset.
