Circle function not working with mixed units

[wschmail]

The function Circle(center::Point{T}, r::T) throws a MethodError when using different units or types, so I often have to add unit conversion which feels like a bug.

This works:

Circle(Point(1µm, 1µm), 1µm)
Circle(Point(1.0µm, 1µm), 1.0µm)

This doesn't work (MethodError):

Circle(Point(1µm, 1µm), 1.0µm)
Circle(Point(1.0µm, 1µm), 1µm)
Circle(Point(1µm, 1µm), 1nm)
Circle(Point(1µm, 1µm), 1.0nm)

I just checked my unit conversions and found another MethodError that seems similar:

This works:

w = 1µm
p = Path(Point(0nm, 0nm); α0=0°)
straight!(p, 100µm, Paths.Trace(w))
corner!(p, -45°, Paths.SimpleTraceCorner())
straight!(p, 100µm, Paths.Trace(w))

This doesn't work:

w = 1000nm
p = Path(Point(0nm, 0nm); α0=0°)
straight!(p, 100µm, Paths.Trace(w))
corner!(p, -45°, Paths.SimpleTraceCorner())
straight!(p, 100µm, Paths.Trace(w))

Sorry, if this problem is actually unrelated and should be a separate issue.

For the Circle issue, we do consider overly-strict method signatures like that to be bugs, so don't hesitate to report them. This one will be fixed soon, thanks.

The Path example I can reproduce (at least using DeviceLayout.PreferMicrons), but it appears to be an instance of the Unitful bug described here JuliaPhysics/Unitful.jl#845. I'll see if we can get the fix merged there soon and avoid a workaround on our side.
