My grammar checker keeps trying to get me to hyphenate a metric unit of measure 
when used as an adjective (apparently seeing the number and the unit as a 
compound adjective). I wrote: 

"put all those resources into a 180 mm industrial panel-mount unit" 

And it suggests 

"put all those resources into a 180-mm industrial panel-mount unit" 

I thought I was quite familiar with metric style, but I am not sure about this 
one. Can anyone shed some light on it? 

Thanks! 
Jim
