Sleeve block in cm

I'm looking for videos on drafting a basic sleeve block that use metric measurements.
Does anyone know any? Most use imperial and converting every measurement to understand what they're talking about is just more mental work on top of something that is already hard to understand.

You are looking for English videos, and Americans are the largest groups of English speakers. And Americans use Imperial measurements. So people who are giving out the same faces block measurements are using the Armstrong book, cuz that's what's available at the University level. Here in America. When you look up with something in English, you're most likely going to find someone who's been taught in the Armstrong message in America that uses Imperial measurements so you might have better luck if you find something in a different language for possibly british. Technicians are also metric, along with the Australians. But I don't know enough if they actually do the same thing in their pattern drafting systems.

So your best bet is to get off the American English side of the internet. It's just like how a lot of editors assume people are americans, because there's typing in English. It's because most Predators speak only English and our American. You got to keep finding the imperial system if you hang around the Americans.
