Hello,

Thank you for a useful link. I have played with it, and I need some help
in conversion.

The result in the program is something like #2 or #3 etc.

Can anyone in the group point to a link with conversion rates from these
dimensions (i.e. #1, #2, #3 etc.) to mm-squared ... or tell me how I do
the calculation, if there is a specific formula?


I don't know if there is an exact formula and knowing the rationale
behind the inch/foot/yard system I doubt it :-)
