KCL settings

Per-file settings

Settings which affect a single file are configured using the settings attribute. This must be at the top of the KCL file (comments before the attribute are permitted). E.g.,

// The settings attribute.
@settings(defaultLengthUnit = in)

// The rest of your KCL code goes below...

x = 42 // Represents 42 inches.

The settings attribute may contain multiple properties separated by commas. Valid properties are:

  • defaultLengthUnit: the default length unit to use for numbers declared in this file.
    • Accepted values: mm, cm, m, in (inches), ft (feet), yd (yards).
  • defaultAngleUnit: the default angle unit to use for numbers declared in this file.
    • Accepted values: deg (degrees), rad (radians).

These settings override any project-wide settings (configured in project.toml or via the UI).
