fromCm
Converts a number from centimeters to the current default unit.
No matter what units the current file uses, this function will always return a number equivalent to the input in centimeters.
For example, if the current file uses inches, fromCm(1) will return 0.393701. If the current file uses millimeters, fromCm(1) will return 10. If the current file uses centimeters, fromCm(1) will return 1.
Caution: This function is only intended to be used when you absolutely MUST have different units in your code than the file settings. Otherwise, it is a bad pattern to use this function.
We merely provide these functions for convenience and readability, as fromCm(10) is more readable that your intent is "I want 10 centimeters" than 10 * 10, if the file settings are in millimeters.
