title: Make SQL Server Reporting Services use metric measurements
body: <p>I'm newly getting into creating and programming reports using SQL Server Reporting Services. </p>
  
  <p>One thing that bugs me right off the bat: I can't seem to find an easy way to tell the BIDS (Business Intelligence Dev Studio, a.k.a. Visual Studio) to use the <strong>metric system</strong> for measurements - you know - millimeters, centimeters etc., instead of inches and so on.</p>
  
  <p>I was trying to figure out whether that's a setting inside Visual Studio (and if so: where is it??), or whether this depends on the Reporting services instance we're going against (and again: if so, where the heck can I change that???).</p>
  
  <p>There must be a way to change this!! Except for the US, no one in the world is still measuring in inches..... c'mon - the world at large has long since adopted the metric system! Don't tell me Microsoft makes me go back into the dark ages.....</p>
