Greetings,
I had lots of experience with drawings in UK units. As part of my job I had to produce schedules of quantities in metric from UK unit drawings. Feet, inches and fractions. I had very useful conversion charts and an even more useful scale rule that read metres from the old scales we used to use. Not long before I retired, 40 years after the metric change, I was working on some old plans and wondered how later generations would cope with the conversion. I believe that there is an AP for that that goes on your cell phone. Should have guessed that.
Regards Grandpamac.
