Hello,
Here they explain well how to convert internal units to meter, centimeters,…
actually when i don`t know the current units in my project, how can i call them? and use it as a variable f.e. whats the current length in the document, and convert it ?

In Crumple i have a node for this in Python, should be called getunittypes I think.
