Values (27)

None = 0

ON::LengthUnitSystem::None indicates no length unit system. The scale factor when converting between a specified unit system and None is always 1.0. ON::LengthUnitSystem::None is used as a unit system for models and instance definitions that should be imported or referenced with no scaling applied.
