What are the units of measure used in ASP?

I guess this would be for Mike or Steve, but if anyone knows I'd appreciate the help. How do the numbers in ASP (e.g. X and Y values, dimensions, etc.) correspond with the real world? They aren't pixels, I don't think. I ask because I'm trying to figure out a way to align the edges of image layers numerically. I know the dimensions of an image when I bring it in, but I'm looking for a way to translate that into something meaningful in the program.

Thanks in advance!

Did I not pose this question comprehensibly, or is everyone in the dark on this?

They are just that, units.
The units of the programs are always the same, regardless the resolution you use. So the units are based on the vertical dimension to make them go from -1 to +1 when you go from the bottom of the render square to the top of it.

If you do a deep search in the forum you'll find me doing the same question and LM repliying more or less that.

Ahh, thanks Genete! Not the answer I was hoping to get, but it is the correct answer, apparently. I guess I will go on building rooms by zooming in close enough to see if the walls intersect properly!

Thanks again!

You're welcome b15fliptop, it took me a while to figure it out even with LM answer.

PS: I've corrected the previous post "from bottom... to top"
