Yeah, it's really simple for development. Units are stored and always computed against each other in millimeters so there's only a conversion needed for display and input. Never a worry about a units mismatch. Now a follow-up question for you: Where could we have put that detail (in what header file or source file or manual page or web page) so that you would have found that detail when you needed it? Ideally some place you actually tried looking? Cheers!
