This command can also be executed from the SpecsIntact Explorer's Sections menu.

The Remove English/Metric Units command provides the option to eliminate all English (ENG) tags or Metric (MET) tags along with their content from a selected Job or Master. Keep in mind, the unit of measure actively used in your Job or Master, set during its creation, cannot be removed. The units of measure are controlled by the Properties > Options tab. By default, Jobs are set to use English units. Therefore, when you choose to use this feature, the software will automatically remove the inactive metric units. 

While you have the option to remove all English or all metric units from a Master, we recommend using this feature with caution since Masters are designed to include both unit types by default.
