Worked: Didnt work

Short description of error
More like a papercut i guess, but there is a disconnect between the Scene Properties and Value Node in Geometry Nodes

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1, Start a New Default Blend File
2, In the Scene Properties change the Length to Centimeters
3, Add a new Geometry Node to the cube
4, Add a Transform Node (Which works in CM)
5, Add a Value Node and connect it to the Translation

This time the value returns back to Meters

The "Value" node has no units, so it uses the default Blender dimensions known as Blend Units (BU).
1BU equals 1m.
This allows compatibility between different files since there is no conversion.
It is good to keep in mind that the same node can link to different properties that use different units.
