Assumptions and limitations
- Uses exact metric prefixes and the international inch of 0.0254 meters. The additional field supports the units listed in its selector, including combined feet/inches.
- Conversions preserve the measurement and its sign. Display rounding does not increase the precision of an original measurement; retain only meaningful digits when reporting measured lengths.
