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

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  Grin ). 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
