cm

Centimeters conversion factor for current projects units.

No matter what units the current project uses, this function will always return the conversion factor to centimeters.

For example, if the current project uses inches, this function will return 0.393701. If the current project uses millimeters, this function will return 10. If the current project uses centimeters, this function will return 1.

Caution: This function is only intended to be used when you absolutely MUST have different units in your code than the project settings. Otherwise, it is a bad pattern to use this function.

We merely provide these functions for convenience and readability, as 10 * cm() is more readable that your intent is "I want 10 centimeters" than 10 * 10, if the project settings are in millimeters.
