Title: Is there anyway to change the unit into Metric unit? Post by: aaronchan on September 15, 2011, 10:37:47 AM Dear All,
I live in China and we tend to use the metric system rather than the US/British unit system. I've been searching online but I don't see any topics that is related to my question. So, is there anyway to change the Q-image use metric system? I've been calculating the size by myself since the first day I purchased it, which really did add some workflow to myself. Thanks Aaron Title: Re: Is there anyway to change the unit into Metric unit? Post by: Fred A on September 15, 2011, 11:14:12 AM Aaron,

just upgraded to .104 and saw that Title: Re: Is there anyway to change the unit into Metric unit? wandering ot Post by: rayw on September 15, 2011, 12:09:30 PM Interesting terminology. It should be 'USA' and 'Metric' - 'English' system was pre 1824, since named 'Imperial', but that was/is slightly different than USA. A nice summary at http://www.france-property-and-information.com/imperial-system-and-history.htm (Note that they spell 'metre', incorrectly ;D ). In truth, within the UK, our measurement system has been an absolute mess since about 1970. it is now more of a hotch potch since before 1824. The imperial system was empirically derived, the metric was not, there is no 'life' to the metric system.
Best wishes, Ray Title: Re: Is there anyway to change the unit into Metric unit? Post by: Fred A on September 15, 2011, 12:48:30 PM Quote Interesting terminology.
