That should be no problem - TaxiDraw works in meters internally anyway.
The only reason for the use of feet is that most US airport data seems to
be specified in feet.  As a European under the age of forty I thoroughly
agree with your preference for meters ;-)

Great work, but i have one wish.
Could you implement a feature that allows to switch the
given default dimension unit between feet an meter?
For example in the taxiway propertie menu the length and width of
a taxiway is given in feet, but personally i prefer meter because
it is easier for me  to visualise a dimension when it is given in meter.


Best Regards,
 Oliver C.
