Quick Tips: How to Switch Between Imperial & Metric Systems in Crafti

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the imperial system (inches) and the metric system (centimeters and millimeters) inside Crafti. You’ll learn how to switch measurement systems from the top menu, why piece dimensions don’t auto-convert between units, how the ruler adapts depending on your choice, and what to know about wood and aluminum parts, which are preset in inches or millimeters.
