Below are the Numbering Prefixes used in the US Imperial (USIMP) and US Metric (USMET) environments. Many of these prefixes were in use prior to v20 but several of them were changed in v20 to removed any conflicts. The Steel prefixes were updated again in 2022 to Consider Case for Numbering Prefixes and the examples provided. Therefore these lists only apply from versions to v20 to v2021.
