Free conversion of units – for design and documentation

Values can be entered into the input fields in any unit. After having activated "Conversion of units" by pressing the key the input value is converted to various units which are displayed in a list. The value of any listed unit can be edited afterwards. It is converted to the other units immediately.

According to the unit of the input field different conversion possibilities for the value are displayed. Move the cursor keys to the field with the desired unit and change the value. All other values are updated at once.

TIP: The displayed unit can easily be changed with the key combination SHIFT - Cursor Up / Down. It is the same combination for calling up the 'conversion of units'.

Set units globally (SI units/US units)

Select 'Settings' in the 'Options' menu and switch to the 'Appearance' tab. Select the unit system at startup. Changes are effective after restarting the program.
