There are board packages that allow seamless interchange between metric
and inch/mil database, on the fly and no rounding errors (PowerPCB). So,
it's not impossible, just unfortunate that it works this way within
Allegro (imho).

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Metric to English - English to Metric
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,
