Should I work in millimeters or meters on drawings?

Most architectural and structural drawings outside the US are dimensioned in millimeters to avoid decimal points, while site levels, grids and areas are stated in meters.

Are the imperial values here exact?

Yes. The inch has been defined as exactly 25.4 mm since 1959, so foot, yard and mile conversions are exact rather than rounded.

Is this length converter free to use?

Yes. Every unit conversion runs in your browser, needs no account and is free for professional use.
