    Interestingly no one actually uses centimetres, in my line of work everything is measure in millimetres, even something over a metre. Average sheet steel size is 2400 x 1200 mm

      I think a lot pf professionals that don’t mind big numbers do it this way

      Back in my middle school planks and beams of wood always had their length marked in mm. I’ve seen floor plans of houses and apartments in mm, tens of thousands of them without thousand separators!
