I’m trying to get feedback on block libraries.
Do mostCAD managers have and maintain a library for imperial and one for metric?
Thanks for the input.

We're actually in the process of rethinking this. What we're leaning towards is sort of a split.:
- Things that have real world dimensions, like chairs and light fixtures, etc, - one library, using INSUNITS to handle scaling on insert.
- Annotative stuff - multiple libraries. If your text height in imperial is, for example, 3/32" and you let ACAD handle the scaling, you will get 2.38125 mm. We've found that the staff tend to "correct" that to 2.3, or 2.4, or 2.5, or 2.25 - because the number looks ugly. Unfortunately, they don't correct it consistently, we'll get all those values in one set of drawings. So, we're moving towards separate libraries for annotation.
