  3. Technical Support Information

This command can also be executed from the SpecsIntact Explorer's File 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 the selected Sections. Keep in mind, the unit of measure actively used in your Sections, set during the creation of a Job or Master, cannot be removed. The units of measure are controlled by the PropertiesOptions tab. By default, Jobs are set to use English units. Therefore, when you 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 or its Sections, we recommend using this feature with caution since Masters are designed to include both unit types by default.
