This-to-That

Measuring isn’t done just for length, as many other factors need to be taken into consideration, depending on the type of task or project you’re working on, and even time is measured. Converting units into other scales or units can be difficult, and not that accurate if done by yourself, but you can use This-to-That for quick, efficient processing.

All the application has to offer is stored in a pretty compact main window, with no shiny elements to distract or confuse you whatsoever. This simplicity allows both beginners and experienced individuals to get the hang of things in the blink of an eye.

The application comes with several preset measurement unit types, so you can start looking for the one of interest, and perform conversion right after launch. The type is picked from a drop-down menu, with initial options letting you choose from length, temperature, mass, speed, and volume.

Sure enough the predefined list leaves more to be desired, as there are far more unit types you might need in your work. On the other hand, the application gives you the possibility to add your own configurations. First off, you need to give the dimension a name, after which constants, and names need to be added for each scale value.

You can also edit existing dimensions, but adding new ones automatically implies you perform some calculus yourself to get the values right, unless you already have them stored somewhere. Conversion is done almost in real time. All you need to do is fill in one of the two fields, depending on the scale unit you want to convert to, as well as in the other empty box to trigger the result.

To sum it up, This-to-That can help you perform basic unit conversion operations, in an intuitive interface that takes only a little accommodation time. You can add your own dimensions to the list, but this has a high change to end in error, or lack the accuracy you need. History is not kept track of, so you need to copy the result after each successful conversion.
