All I want to know is ...
Where do I get 'Metric' sized paper for my 'American Units' Printer, so I
can go 100% Metric, and print my Schematics on Metris paper? Hmmmmm???
Regards,
James Jackson

Let me get up on my well-known soapbox:
Go with the metric units if you have an option. We will all have to do
that sooner or later, and sooner is better.
Preach the gospel to anyone who will listen - it's a whole lot better
once you break through the pain barrier :-)

Subject: [DC] Inches vs Metric
This is something that will never go away. I used to work at a company
with
a standard that all drawings were to be dimensioned in MM. All our
designs
were done in microns, but the engineers all spoke in "mils". It made
for
interesting design reviews, but you eventually get used to it.
One of the first things I ask a new customer is what units they prefer.
If
it's inch I use line widths/spaces of 0.005, 0.010, etc. If they want
metric
I use 0.125, 0.25, etc. It's interesting to see how much "metric data" I
received with values of 0.381, 0.254, 0.762, 1.016.
Personally I prefer metric, but still buy beer buy the pint :)
