Cute!
Of course, being Americans trying to find metric, we're going to want it in American standard paper sizes, which nobody else uses either. Why make this easy? <grin>

For mapping to scale in metric, I just buy 10 squares to the inch. That's cheating, but it makes it easier to find engineering scaling rulers.

'Course, if I'm trying to draw 1:1 and want metric squares, I'm out of luck. But that's what bar scales are for.
