Managing unit system settings

You can change unit system settings in the System Administrator just as you would with aP Pro; see Managing Unit System Settings in the aP Pro User Guide. With the System Administrator, you can also define new unit systems. When they are defined, the new unit systems will be available for aP Pro users.
