Does Tracker Use (or require) Units? May 27, 2013 12:29PM UTC
Todd Longfellow 1 Posts	Greetings, and thanks so such for a wonderful tool! I am guessing that, outside of degrees or radians, Tracker is pretty much unitless. Is this correct? Thank you for considering my question. ~todd Post edited May 28, 2013 at 4:13 AM EST. Login to reply

Douglas Brown 353 Posts	That's almost right. Tracker is unitless except for degrees/radians and also time is assumed to be in seconds. But mass and distance units are up to the user... Doug Login to reply \| Condense
