Problem description

The new measurement feature displays values in the unit system chosen by the user. It is sometimes necessary to measure geometry in a different units: a diameter in inches on a part designed in millimeters, or a distance in meters for a house designed in feet. The tool should allow on the fly conversion to any built-in unit while still updating saved ones when geometry changes with the user-selected unit.

UI proposal: a combo-box with a list of units consistent with the measure.
