        I have a customer that does business in Japan and the US.  He would
like to be able 
        to go back and forth between English and Metric in Allegro 15.2 to
supply Metric files 
        to Japan and English files to the US.  I always seem to have round
off errors, which
        can create DRC's, disconnects and pad stack corruption.  It seems
like you can 
        minimize the problems, but you can not go cleanly back and forth
with out having to
        fix something.  If you keep going back and forth between English and
Metric will the 
        board eventually be corrupt beyond repair.  Is this going to be
fixed in Allegro 15.5?

        Thanks in advance,
