The idea behind the two different profiles is one (US Metric) is meant to be "soft metric" and the other (Global) is meant to be true metric. You will see differences in sizes available for things like pipe, conduit, etc. For example, for conduit you might see 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 32 for sizes in Global but in US Metric you might see 16, 21, 27, 35, 41, etc. Basically more like imperial sizes shown in metric units. If you want real metric, you should use Global.
Hi David,
