You may note that vim editor can convert units too.
Recently I did a conversion from mm to default units by this command:

:%s@\(\d\+\.\?\d\+\)mm@\=printf('%.0f',(str2float(submatch(1))*1.0e6/254.0))@g

Of course you have to invert it -- if you are using vim and wants to use
such a macro let me know, I can help you inverting it. Basically some
sort of regular expression pattern matching...
