Elektro, use inch or mm in europe?

autodeskguest

Is the elektro-library based on inch or mm grid? The german tutorial says

that inch-grid should be used. I've expected the Germans to use mm in their

drawing standard for elektro schemes. Thought IEC-standards used the metric

system.

    A lot of component is in inch but like you said IEC standards used metric.

    I use only metrics

    The inch grid is the default in the EAGLE Schematic editor. This

    is for historic reasons. All Symbols in the electronic (and also

    in the electrical) libraries are drawn in 0.1 inch grid.

    Of course the hardware is mostly made in mm grid, but this has

    nothing to do with the Schematic drawing.
