Metric to US units in description

Post by btes »

Hi there,
I am new in IrrriCAD and I am having some trouble trying to set the units from Metric to US in the description so that I can easily recognize the items. I can go to "Units" under the tools menu and then change the units to "US," but that does not change the description, is there an easy way to change them all at once without editing one by one?

Thank you,

Hi,

The unit settings only change the units displayed in the dialogs - the description of each item is simply text and is unaffected by the unit setting. You can use the Replace function (with care!) (Edit|Replace) in the Database Editor to find and replace strings (e.g., replace 50mm with 2").

It is also possible that US databases are already available from our US distributor, please contact irricad@nelsonirrigation.com to enquire.

Thanks,

Dan
