Unit and value conversion in
text boxes
You can enter values using any unit of
measure, or any arithmetic expression,
into a numeric text box. Version 6.0
automatically calculates the value of
arithmetic expressions, and converts
all units to the preset unit. For example,
if you enter “1 in + 1 cm” into a text field
set to points, Illustrator converts the
entry to 100.346 points.
