Changing default units

The unit system for the current session appears in the lower-right corner of most windows except the Map.


Switch between Metric, Imperial, and Oilfield in the IHS EDIN Desktop toolbar, in the Map window or Query Editor, or in any Output window. The unit system changes throughout EDIN for the current session.

The current unit system isn't saved with maps or queries saved to disk, so when you open saved files, they're displayed in whatever unit system is selected for the current session.

To change default units

From the Tools menu, point to Change Unit System, and then click Metric, Imperial, or Oilfield.
