From there you could create a simple program which you could trigger from your Plus42 user keyboard. Once you have your base SI unit, in most cases you simply need a factor of 10 to convert to your desired unit. e.g. 125_mm is 0.125_M in SI units.

Thank you very much John, I was looking at the code of Plus42 recently and I saw all the SI units mentioned in there, so I wondered if there is an easy way to do this. Right now I have created my own custom units so the conversion is easy, just wondered if I was missing a cool keystroke combo or anything.
