I’m trying to figure out if its possible to convert dimensions to base SI units using Unitful without explicitly specifying the base unit.
Right now I do:
a = 800.0u"ft/s" |> u"m/s"
b = 50.0u"cm^2" |> u"m^2"
Edit: accidentally submitted prior to finishing post…
I believe upreferred(800u"ft/s") should do what you want. Glancing through the hosted documentation for Unitful, it doesn’t seem like this is made explicitly clear anywhere. Perhaps a PR is in order?
upreferred does the trick. Thanks. I agree with your comment about the documentation.
