Vector Unit Converter

About This Tool

The Vector Unit Converter accepts Cartesian vector components x, y, z in a source length unit and returns equivalent components in a target length unit, plus the vector magnitude in the target unit. This supports engineering, physics, and graphics workflows where unit consistency matters.
Conceptually, each input component is converted to a base reference (meters) using standard factors such as 1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 in = 0.0254 m, and 1 ft = 0.3048 m. The magnitude is computed as sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) in base units, then outputs are converted from base units to the requested target unit. Precision can be set to a fixed number of decimal places.
Who benefits: engineers validating tolerances, physicists solving vector equations, students learning vector math, and graphics professionals aligning coordinates. Unique value: explicit separation of component and magnitude conversions, support for both isotropic scaling and exact unit mapping, clear handling of unsupported units with precise errors.
Core features and use cases: input x, y, z and units, get back x, y, z in the target unit plus magnitude; optional magnitude-only mode; example: convert (3,0,4) m to cm yields (300,0,400) cm and magnitude 500 cm; or convert (1,2,3) in to mm yields (25.40,50.80,76.20) mm and magnitude ~95 mm.
