By default in Autpipe the units are ENGLISH. How can I change them in Metric system?
Thanks
In the AutoPIPE folder there are sevral unit files (*.UNT). The default unit file is AUTOPIPE.UNT and is identical to ENGLISH.UNT. You can change the default by copying METRIC.UNT or SI.UNT into AUTOPIPE.UNT.
You can also select the option Tools/Mode Options/Save defaults to save many other data like piping code and result and edit options and some analysis options. This way you can still use METRIC as your unit file. Please note that the only way to disable the defaults options is to delete the file autopipe.dfl in the AutoPIPE folder.

You may create a simple script to automate this task.
Simply copy&paste the following lines to notepad and save it as a .BAT file. Then just run it.
@ECHO OFF
CD C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries3
REN autopipe.unt autopipe.unt.bak
COPY mmetric.unt autopipe.unt
Note the "mmetric" file has all dimensions based in metric units with with exemption to the diameter (inches).
