A little useful feature: even if the default unit can be changed between
inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue... So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the unit text boxes... so you can put in things like: 1in (1 inch) 1" (idem) 25th (25 thou) 25mi (25 mils, the same) 6mm (6 mm, obviously) The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only the first two letters are significant. As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
