How to switch between metric and imperial

1 min read Updated

MetreMate measures in metric or imperial. Use the units menu in the editor's toolbar to switch, and your lengths and areas read out in that system, for example linear metres and square metres.

Step by step

  1. 1Open a plan in the editor.
  2. 2Find the units menu in the toolbar. It shows Metric while you are working in metric.
  3. 3Choose the unit system you want.
  4. 4Your measurements read out in the new units.

Tips

  • Set the scale before you start. Units change how a length is shown, not the scale it is measured at.
