Std UnitsCalculator

The units calculator dialog allows to calculate quantities to different units.

Description


The first field defines a value and a corresponding unit. If you enter an unknown unit, you get a syntax error. Units with exponents can be inserted in the form m^3. Here is a list of all known units. In the second field you specify the resulting unit. If the unit type of the second filed does not match the unit type of the first field, you get a unit mismatch. For example if you try to calculate "12 g" to "nm". because a mass cannot be expressed as a length. The third field shows the result.

Pressing return in field one or two will add the result of the calculation to the log area for later usage. The Copy button copies the result into the clipboard, so you can use it in another dialog of FreeCAD.

In the field Quantity you can input a value and select a unit type in the combobox behind. You will get as result the base unit of the selected unit type. For example 75 and type Frequency results in 75 Hz.

The dialog can stay open as long as you want and does not block the rest of FreeCAD
