This section explains how unit systems work in Flexcom. It outlines the differences between files employing user-defined units and those with an explicit unit system. It also explains how an existing project, containing files employing user-defined units, may be converted to one with an explicit unit system.
Further information is contained in the following sections:
•Standard Unit Systems introduces the standard Metric and standard Imperial unit systems, distinguishes between base and derived units, and also provides a complete Units Reference Guide.
•Files With Explicit Units discusses keyword files which use either the standard metric (.KEYXM file extension) or standard imperial (.KEYXI file extension) unit system.
•Files With User-Defined Units discusses legacy keyword files which do not include explicit units (.KEYX file extension).
•Units Project Importer describes the convertor program which allows you to convert legacy projects, which do not include explicit units, into one of the standard unit systems.
