UnitSystem

UnitSystem identifies the measurement system in use for a drawing or dataset, such as metric (SI) or imperial. The model records the base units for length, mass, and angle, plus any overrides declared in title blocks or notes. It also captures confidence levels and references to specific annotations so you know exactly where the unit information originated. Knowing the unit system ensures dimensions and tolerances are interpreted correctly and supports automatic conversions when integrating with other tools. It is especially useful when drawings mix units or when global teams collaborate on a single project, helping avoid costly unit-conversion errors and supporting analytics that compare projects across regions.
