Metric and imperial
Units are a setting of your own, separate from language, and every number follows it — including the ones you type.
Choose metric or imperial from the user menu. Every dimension on the plan, in the aisle check, on the fleet and in the report follows: millimetres and metres become inches and feet, kilograms become pounds, square metres become square feet.
#Typing in imperial
The machine profile form follows the setting too. In imperial the fields read inches, pounds and miles per hour, and accept decimals — 98.4 in, 3,500 lb, 7.5 mph. Auddomate stores every profile in millimetres, kilograms and millimetres per second whatever you typed, so a library built by an American office and one built by a German office are the same library. The typical figures offered when you pick a class are converted before they are shown.
Datasheets from the catalogue are metric at source; opening one in imperial shows the converted figures with the original available on the datasheet link.
Rounding: a value typed in imperial is stored to the nearest millimetre or kilogram, so 3,500 lb comes back as 3,501 lb after a round trip. The difference is smaller than any datasheet's tolerance.
