Units

Definition

On this page, we define all units of the software.
You can change the Unit system between Metric and Imperial.

Even in the Imperial System, you can customize a unit to have a metric one.
Also, in the tools and techno's libraries, we added the choice of unit (metric or imperial) to manage the case of working with a unit different than the current one.

We have 4 main categories:

  • Geometry

  • Machining

  • Measure

  • Other

Description and Use

Time and Duration:

The Duration and Time categories for Machining units are different:

  • Time is used for machining time calculation (Typically in HMS)

  • Duration is the unit of dwell for example

This enables to have the same unit but different precisions, especially in the case for dwell. These are typically within seconds and preferred to have control over the value in milliseconds.
