Units in equations

Blockpad handles units of measure the way engineers need, including conversions and cancellations inside equations.

 

 

 

 

 

Use units in a formula

Assign a unit by typing the unit after the number - that's it.

 

 

 

 

 

Formulas treat units correctly

Formulas convert, multiply, and cancel units when they should, and Blockpad will show an error when the units don't match up.

 

 

 

 

 

Compound units

Use math operators like *, /, and ^ to create compound units like square feet or meter per second.

 

 

 

 

 

Convert numbers to different units

Convert a value by typing to new unit after the number.

 

 

 

 

 

Foot - inch units

Blockpad supports foot - inch units naturally, with fractions and all.
