Question:

I have a problem and it is that when I start the RCDC it shows me everything in English system units and it does not allow me to change it to the metric system. I appreciate if you can help me with this.

 

Answer:

I believe you are using the ACI code here. For ACI code we have 2 unit versions for each code. You will notice a suffix M which indicates metric unit system.

So, if you select any code with ACI318M, by default Metric unit will be activated.
