English term or phrase: decameters

Gente,
acho que o autor quis dizer decímetros em vez de decâmetros. O que fazer? Vejam o trecho. É um manual sobre AutoCAD e o assunto é a seleção de unidades de desenho.

"If you want to just start drawing right away without setting up the drawing units, you can assume that the basic unit is the inch. Metric users can decide to use milimeters, centimeters, DECAMETERS, or meters, but whichever you choose to be the basic unit, make sure you stick with it throughout the drawing."

Ele segue uma lógica progressiva, portanto, acho estranho listar decâmetros (10 metros) logo após centímetros e antes de metros.
