To change your default units:
- Navigate to your account Settings in Backflip via either the Settings tab visible in any app or CAD plug-in window, or the Settings option in the dropdown menu that appears when you click on your profile.

- Click on Units in the sidebar to bring up those settings. From here, you can click on the drop down for ‘Display units’ to select a new unit system and change the default units you see across Backflip.
