Text fields convert between units
It would be nice if text fields like position x/y/z, track length, canvas w/h, could automatically convert between units.
For example I prefer to work in cm, but sometimes I need to size something in inches. So it would be nice to write '16 "' or something and have that converted to cm, instead of reaching for the calculator.
OmniGraffle does this also, and it is pretty useful.
RailModeller Pro 6.4.26 adds contextual menu commands for unit conversion in measurement text fields
-
New contextual menu commands available in text fields containing measurements allow converting numbers to the current unit from all supported units.
-
Converting from commonly used units to the *current* unit of measurement would be beneficial, arbitrary unit conversion might not be useful.
-
Sound like a good idea -
in particular when available everywhere this would be very useful in the new Library Editor
